These are tasty! I ate them with Thai Crystal Sauce. This recipe reminded me of deep fried stinky tofu that I used to eat in Taiwan, but was missing the pungent flavor and pickled veg.

MMmm, fried tofu! I only used 1/8 cup of peanut oil to fry the tofu and it turned out perfectly. (A trick I've learned to give the tofu more spongy texture is to remove the excess moisture from the tofu before frying. Place tofu on a cookie rack then set a heavy castiron skillet on top to weigh it down. Let stand for about 30 minutes. Proceed with recipe.) Chose the peanut sauce for the condiment. Great recipe for a quick snack, too. I want to try the plum sauce next time. cg

Lovely, tasty, crispy little morsels! I loved the crunch from the sesame seeds! I served this with your Spicy Peanut Sauce #63211 and it was rich! Thanks Rita!
