Tofu is usually sold in square loaves soaked in water. You will need to set it on a stack of paper towels, press another stack of paper towels on top of it. On top of all of that, place a soup can or a book.;
,, Keep in mind that you do not have to fill up the entire bowl. You can turn the tofu around in there once you are ready.
 Do not go overboard with the salt. This tofu is meant to be flavorful, not sickeningly salty. Set the bowls by a frying pan filled with vegetable oil or canola oil.
 Unwrap your tofu and put the damp paper towels in the trash. Place the tofu horizontally in front of you. Cut the tofu into five or six strips. Cut each strip into thirds. From this point, you can cut the tofu as big or as little as you desire.
 It is okay if your tofu squares are still a little damp. Place the tofu on a plate and bring them over to the bowl of cornstarch, bowl of soy sauce, and the frying pan.
, You could dip it in the soy sauce for only a hint of flavor or leave it in for a while for a more pronounced flavor. The longer that your tofu is in the soy sauce, the saltier it will taste.
 Cover the whole piece with cornstarch.
 Flip the tofu with a spatula until it starts sizzling or until it becomes golden brown on one side. Repeat these two steps for all the tofu pieces.
 Do not refrigerate the fried tofu because they will not remain crunchy. Wait a few minutes for them to cool and serve them with ketchup, barbecue sauce, or lemon. Enjoy your tofu!
Take your tofu out of the package.
Get your supplies and ingredients ready.

,
In one bowl, pour soy sauce to fill up approximately three quarters of the bowl.
In a slightly larger bowl, put in cornstarch and a little pinch of salt, if desired.
Make sure your tofu is dry enough to cut.
With a dry paper towel, gently squeeze the tofu pieces to get the last of the moisture out.
Set your frying pan with the oil on a low heat.

,
Dip the first square of tofu in the soy sauce.
Put the tofu that has been in the soy sauce into the cornstarch.
Place the tofu into the frying pan.
When you are done frying your tofu, place them on a paper towel, or a plate to dry.
