Brilio.net - For tofu fans, just hearing the name immediately imagines its delicious taste. Tofu is made from soybeans which are processed into milk and then thickened. Out there, tofu is also sold in various types, such as silk tofu , yellow tofu, tofu, pong, and many more.
Well, tofu can be processed into various delicious and appetizing dishes. One of the preparations that cannot be missed is crispy tofu.
Even though there are lots of people selling crispy tofu out there, what's wrong with making it yourself at home? To make the texture even crispier, some people deliberately mix wheat flour and cornstarch for the tofu dressing dough.
But it turns out there are other ways you can do it when making crispy tofu . The recipe and tutorial was shown by YouTube user Mbok Midut. In his video upload, it appears that this netizen did not use wheat flour or cornstarch at all for the tofu dressing dough. Even so, the resulting crispy tofu remains hollow and crunchy and lasts a long time.
How to make crispy tofu that lasts a long time.
To do this, first prepare the tofu dressing mixture. Instead of mixing wheat flour and cornstarch, he actually put 150 grams of rice flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon stock powder, 1 teaspoon ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 300 ml water into a container. Stir until completely mixed.
"The result is like this, yes. Not runny, not too thick. So if you pull it up it doesn't break," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Mbok Midut on Monday (26/2).

On the other hand, he immediately cut the white tofu into several pieces. After that, the pieces of tofu are immediately put into a container containing the tofu dressing mixture that has been made.

If you feel it is completely coated, put the tofu pieces one by one into the hot cooking oil. You don't need to turn it often, just wait a few moments until the crisps are perfectly dry.

After frying for a while, it looked like the crispy tofu was dry and brown in color. If that's the case, lift and drain. Finally, serve the crispy tofu on a serving plate. Even though you only use one type of flour, namely rice flour, the appearance of the crispy tofu looks tempting, right?
