Crispy Tofu Bites

Ingredients

• 1 package extra-firm tofu , 12 ounce
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil , or as needed

Instructions

1. 1

   Drain tofu, place on a plate, and stack heavy plates on top of tofu to drain any remaining moisture, about 15 minutes. Slice into 24 bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Toss tofu into the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Transfer tofu to a plate, shaking off any excess flour mixture.

3. 3

   Pour oil into a skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook tofu in hot oil, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
