Slices of pan-fried tofu that are lightly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and topped with your choice of toppings and garnishes (my favorite combination is ponzu, spicy sambal oelek, and sliced scallions). This dish is a great way to introduce tofu to children.
1. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the tofu into four pieces, pat the pieces dry, and let them sit on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture that remains. Season the tofu on both sides with salt and pepper and then spread each side with the garlic. Lightly coat the slices with the flour.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu, protecting yourself from the hot oil. Cook the tofu until it is crispy and browned, and then flip the pieces over and cook the other side. Set the slices on some paper towels to cool slightly and soak up any extra oil.
3. Serve the tofu topped with your toppings and garnishes of choice.

I just signed up for a Tasty Kitchen account purely so I could comment about how delicious this recipe is. Very easy and very, very tasty; the crispy and creamy textures work well together.
I loved this. I haven’t eaten tofu before, at least not intentionally!, so this was a great ‘first’ for me. Very easy and really very good.

I am making this tomorrow! It looks so good and I am always looking for different ways to make tofu.
