Ingredients

1 kg of firm or extra firm tofu
¼ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
½ cup rice bran oil

Directions

Drain water from tofu package and press tofu to remove excess water.
To press: place tofu blocks on paper towels. Add another layer of towels on top and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a cutting board, a plate, etc. Press for at least 30 minutes.
Cut tofu into either squares or strips, making sure pieces are at least 4 cm wide/thick then lightly sprinkle with SIDS CRAZY SALT.
Over medium high heat in a large frypan, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Oil is hot enough when an inserted wooden chopstick or skewer causes oil to bubble.
Add tofu to oil, careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry on each side for approximate 3-5 minutes until golden. Remove to cooling rack inserted in sheet pan to drain oil. Repeat until all tofu has been fried.
