Method

  • Slice the tofu horizontally, then cut diagonally into 8 triangles. Place the tofu in a shallow dish.
  • Mix together the marinade and pour over the tofu.
  • Leave the tofu to marinade for at least an hour, turn the tofu half way through so that it marinated evenly.
  • Mix together the tofu crust ingredients. Take the tofu pieces one at a time and dip into the mix so that the crust sticks to all sides.
  • Shallow fry the tofu, until crisp. Set aside.
  • Strain the marinade and keep as a dipping sauce.
