Crispy Baked Tofu (เต้าหู้อบกรอบ)

This is a healthier version if you want some crispy tofu.

Honestly though, it takes so long to make. If you don’t have the time (and are not THAT concerned about deep-fried food), then just deep fry the bloody thing!

Makes: roughly 2 cups crispy tofu

What you need

400 g Firm tofu
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
Salt

Dipping sauce

Thai sweet chilli sauce
Peanuts, roasted and crushed

How to put this together

Drain the tofu of the liquid it comes in.
Place double layer paper towel on a plate.
Put tofu block on top, put another sheet of paper towel on top, followed by a chopping board, and some weights to squeeze out the water. Leave for 30 mins.
Heat oven to 200 C
Cut tofu into 1 inch cubes. Sprinkle with a few pinches of salt.
Drizzle sesame oil over the cubes, and gently coat them evenly.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and place tofu cubes on top
Bake for 30-40 mins, flipping every 10 mins.
To make dipping sauce – simply sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts on top of Thai sweet chilli sauce
Serve crispy tofu cubes with dipping sauce, or use it in other recipes
