Crispy Pan-Fried Tofu with Sauce

This Crispy Pan-Fried Tofu recipe is delicious and simple to make.

Tofu has been gaining popularity in recent years as a delicious and healthy alternative to meat.

However, tofu is often disliked because it can be dry, bland, and tasteless. The problem here is that people cook tofu like they would a piece of meat, which isn’t necessarily the ideal way. Tofu needs to be cooked differently from meat.

In plenty of Asian cultures, tofu is a staple in people’s diets and not necessarily used as a meat substitute. It is often braised, used in soups, or pan-fried with sauce.
