3. Set up a station of two plates, one for dry and one for wet. Add 1 cup of flour to the dry plate. Add 1/2 cup flour and 3/4 cups of water to the wet plate. Use a fork to dissolve the flour (you can add more flour or water to this recipe as needed)
4. Add half of the tofu to the dry plate and coat. Then, transfer the tofu to the wet plate and coat. Then, transfer back to the dry plate and coat again. Set the coated tofu pieces aside and repeat with the remaining tofu
5. Add the avocado oil to a frying pan and heat up on medium heat for a few minutes (stick a bamboo chopstick in the oil, if there's fast moving bubbles, it's ready)
6. Carefully place in half of the tofu pieces and fry for 4-6min. When they start to turn golden brown, carefully turn the tofu over. Fry the other side for 3-4min. Then, carefully transfer onto a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining tofu

I'm Chris Thomas from the United States and I've been living as an expat in China now for upwards of nine years, most of which in Shenzhen. I love living here, and the food is absolutely incredible. I read and speak some Chinese, and have been trying to religiously recreate the most authentic versions of the food I've eaten and loved here.
My partner in these videos is Stephanie Li, my similarly food-and-travel-obsessed long term girlfriend. She's a translator from Guangzhou and is an incredible home cook. Sometimes I'll be behind the wok but usually it'll be her cooking.
