Techniques
- furry tofu
- 1½ cup oil
Heat 1.5 cups of oil in a wok to 380 F.
Add the tofu one piece at a time, furry side down, because the underside that touched the rack has no mycelium and sticks badly.
Spoon the hot oil over the top with a ladle until the surface is seared and it no longer sticks.
Fry three to four minutes over medium heat until golden brown, then lift out.
