Pan Fried Tofu with Soy Sauce Dip

I love going to the Chinese Market on weekends because i can taste hell a lots of free food samples :P . I know i am such a foodie. Why i love to taste samples because , i come home and try them when i am free.Last week when i went were there i happened to taste Fried Tofu , they were delicious . 

Though i am not a big fan of Tofu , I thought i should try it . The Tofu i ate in the Chinese Market was totally different , it was just dipped in the  Batter and fried. So i took that idea and made my own version of Pan Fried Tofu .( Health Conscious :) )

INGREDIENTS:

Hard Tofu - Sliced into square 

Cornflour - 3 TBLSP

APF - 1/2 Cup

Corn Flakes - 1/2 - 1 Cup ( Crushed by hand)

Salt - To taste

Pepper - 1 TSPN

Chili Flakes - 1 TSPN

Fresh Coriander Leaves - Chopped ( only the leaves 2 TSPN)

Water - To make the batter

Oil- to fry

I had made it as an even Snack . It was so stomach filling . The best part of making this is , tofu need not be marinated . Just dip in the batter , roll it in the corn flakes and fry them . They are done .

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Slice Tofu into Medium Thin Squares .( Or the shape you want).
• Combine APF , Corn Flour , Pepper , Salt , Chili Flakes , Chopped Coriander Leaves .
• Add water little at a time and make a Medium Thick Batter.
• In another plate crush the cornflakes and leav it aside.
• In a Non-Stick Pan Add some oil . Allow it to heat .
• Once the oil is hot and ready , Dip the Tofu in the batter and then in the crushed cornflakes and fry it in the oil.
•  Fry it till it is golden brown.
• When it is done , keep it in the Paper towel to make sure excess oil will be absorbed.
• Continue with rest of the Tofu.

For the Dip:

INGREDIENTS:

• Soy Sauce  -  1/4 Cup
• Vinegar  - 1 TSPN ( I used Apple Cidar Vinegar )
• Chili Sauce - To the Spice level
• Sesame Seeds - 1 TSPN
• Scallions - Chopped - 1 ( Finely Chopped)
• Red Chili Flakes - 1/2  TSPN

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Combine all the ingredients mentioned .

Note for the dip :

 Dip is tastier when made fresh .

Good to keep in the fridge for 2 -3 days.
