Crispy Tofu is a great way to add protein to soups or curries. It tastes great, is economical, and quick. We add it when we don’t want to eat meat – so stir fries, curries and soup are all the type of dishes that we add this too.
The main thing to remember is that you need firm, or extra firm Tofu, otherwise it will fall apart. You do need to squeeze the excess water out of it but that’s easy. Just wrap it in paper towel, put a plate on top and weigh it down with a tin. Leave for 20 or 30 minutes and then cut into cubes.
