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.

This recipe is on high rotation at our house!

Whether you’re serving this with baked potatoes and veggies, or slicing it up and making bahn mi with crispy bread… it’s always a hit with family and friends.

Whilst I roasted the belly in a wood fired oven, you can get the same results in a conventional oven.

To get the skin super crispy, it’s best to prep the belly the day before the cook. This will give the meat the opportunity to soak in the marinade and let the skin dry up to give you that crispy delicious crackling!
