Brilio.net - Yellow tofu is a simple cooking ingredient that can be processed into various dishes. Such as various stir-fries, cakes , or just fried crispy. Even though it is simple, processed yellow tofu is still delicious and manages to shake the tongue.
The way to process yellow tofu is fairly easy. Therefore, many people deliberately buy yellow tofu in large quantities to stock at home. Yellow tofu is usually sold in plastic packaging and soaked in water. This is what makes yellow tofu sometimes have an unpleasant aroma.
Even though it has been washed many times before processing, the smell is still strong. In fact, the smell can still be smelled even though the yellow tofu has been processed into a dish. As a result, the enjoyment of processed yellow tofu is reduced.
To get around this, you can process the yellow tofu first before cooking it like YouTube user Neneng Channel does.
"This is a trick so that the smell of the tofu disappears and is kept for days," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from the YouTube Neneng Channel on Thursday (25/4).

The first step, first remove the yellow tofu from the packaging. On the other hand, boil water in a pan until it really boils. If so, add the yellow tofu one by one. Make sure the yellow tofu is completely submerged in the cooking water.

If so, add 1 tsp salt to the pan. The goal is to make the yellow tofu taste even more delicious and last longer when stored.
"Boil until it boils, usually for 3 minutes, friends," explained the video owner.
After boiling for 3 minutes, remove and drain the tofu. Put the yellow tofu in a container and wait until it cools. Because it has been processed like this, the unpleasant smell of yellow tofu disappears. Yellow tofu can be prepared according to taste.

Tricks for frying tofu so that it stays intact and doesn't fall apart.
Frying tofu without it falling apart can be a challenge, but there are a few tricks that can help you achieve great results. Here are some tricks for frying tofu so it doesn't fall apart:
1. Choose the right tofu.
Choose tofu that is fresh and firm enough. Tofu that is too soft or crumbly tends to fall apart easily when fried.
2. Cut carefully.
Carefully cut the tofu into your desired shape before frying. Avoid cutting it too small or thin, as this can make the tofu more susceptible to falling apart.
3. Dry with kitchen tissue.
Once cut, place the tofu pieces on a kitchen towel or dry cloth to absorb excess moisture. The drier tofu will be easier to fry and will have crispier results.
4. Use coating flour.
Before frying, sprinkle the tofu pieces with a little cornstarch or wheat flour. This flour will help form a crispy outer layer and help prevent the tofu from falling apart.
5. Make sure the oil is hot enough.
Heat the oil quite hot before frying the tofu. Oil that is hot enough will form a crispy outer layer quickly, so that the tofu doesn't sit in the oil for too long and potentially fall apart.
By following some of the tricks above, you can fry tofu with results that don't fall apart and remain crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.
