General Tso's Tofu Ingredients:
350g extra firm tofu
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

2 1/2 cups avocado oil
Directions:
1. Pat dry the extra firm tofu with a paper towel. Then, break into medium bite sized pieces
2. Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, and toasted sesame oil to the tofu and toss to combine. Set aside and let it marinate for a few minutes
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

Crispy Sweet Chili Puffed Tofu! ???? Only 3 Ingredients!
This tofu will blow your mind! It's crispy, chewy, sweet, salty and spicy. It's no wonder this is my number 1 requested recipe. I haven't made a video on it yet because it is just too easy and I didn't think it needed one.... but it does. It deserved its own dedicated video. Heck, it probably deserves its own channel. The crispy tofu channel... hey I think I'm on to something.
It's obviously not the healthiest tofu ever, but I guarantee it's going to be the tastiest.
