Tips:

  • Choose the right tofu: Extra-firm or firm tofu is best for frying, as it will hold its shape better.
  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu before frying will help to remove excess water and make it crispier.
  • Use a light coating: When coating the tofu with cornstarch or flour, use a light coating so that the tofu doesn't become too heavy or doughy.
  • Fry the tofu in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough so that the tofu sizzles when it is added. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the tofu, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the tofu from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the tofu salad immediately: Once the tofu is fried, serve it immediately with the salad and dressing. This will prevent the tofu from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Fried tofu salad with buttermilk dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The tofu is crispy and flavorful, the salad is fresh and crunchy, and the dressing is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
