Prepare the large frying pan
1 minAll you need to finish this dish is a large frying pan.
Equipment: large frying panPrep and fry the tofu
15 minTear the tofu into bite-sized chunks with your hands, then place into a small bowl with the cornflour and season well with salt and pepper. Mix carefully with your hands to coat the tofu in the cornflour. Add a drizzle of oil to your frying pan and place over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and fry on all sides until golden and crispy. Alternatively, toss in a little oil and air fry for 15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes.
