How to cook deliciously - Twice-Cooked Crispy Fried Tofu

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.

2. Stage

Pat tofu dry with a paper towel. Slice in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/4-inch pieces, about 14 pieces in total. Place tofu between paper towels and drain, about 20 minutes.

3. Stage

Season tofu with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.

4. Stage

Mix cornstarch, paprika, thyme, and seasoned salt together to make cornstarch seasoning.

5. Stage

Pat any excess moisture off the tofu. Sprinkle cornstarch seasoning evenly over top. Arrange on a baking sheet.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until tofu starts to brown, about 7 minutes. Turn over and continue baking until the upper side is darkened, about 3 minutes more.

7. Stage

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and fry until golden-brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
