Tofu Bites
Ingredients
Spicy Mayo Sauce
Instructions
Tofu Balls
-
First we need to take all the moisture out of the tofu. Take the tofu and drain all the liquid out the packet. Then pat dry with a paper towel.
-
Next, on a paper-towel-lined cutting board, place the tofu and place another paper towel on top of the tofu. Then place a large flat plate on the top of the tofu; a little weight/heavy. This will help push out remaining moisture outside the tofu. This process can take up to 20 minutes. Tofu right out the packet is too wet to work this recipe.
-
Once the tofu is dry enough, break it up in with a fork in a large bowl.
-
Add eggs, cilantro, scallions, ginger and five-spice powder; mix until well combined.
-
Slowly stir in cornstarch and shape into golf-ball-size balls and place on parchment paper.
-
Grab a small saucepan and heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
-
Carefully add 3-4 of the tofu bites into the oil. Turn regularly, until golden brown; about 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Once golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon or skimmer spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
-
Repeat with the remaining tofu bites.
Spicy Mayo Sauce
-
Combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, minced garlic and five-spice powder in a small bowl until well combined.
