This is the first recipe I made from this channel and wanted to share that my husband said this is the best crispy tofu he's ever had. I want to thank you for your passion and dedication of sharing Chef Lau's Cantonese recipes. I watch these videos not only for Chef Lau's erudite knowledge on Cantonese cooking and cuisine, but also it brings me back to the days when my dad also cooked Cantonese/Hakka cuisine. My dad passed away 12 years ago and I would have to try to mimic his cooking but I didnt take the time to jot down recipes or ask why a dish is prepared a certain way. Please keep the videos coming as this will preserve Cantonese cooking for many generations!

Bless Pops for explaining the Why, When & How in all these recipes because it really arms us non-chefs with tools and a great education on each ingredient and allows us to a-ply this knowledge in our own experiments. I keep foolishly buying tofu with optimism that I’ll figure it out. Thanks to this generous recipe, I think I can confidently accomplish a tofu dish!
@Android-1138 4 ай бұрын
It takes some time to figure tofu out but, once you do it so worth it!! I haven't ever heard/seen his technique for drawing the water out by boiling it in salt water, I've always pressed my tofu between 2 flat surfaces with weight on top but, I like his way a lot more, going to try it next time. Biggest thing IMO is getting the water out of the tofu be fore cooking it because it's either going to ruin your dish with liquid or never take the flavor but, I always have luck with getting all the water out and then ill add my seasonings to water and let tofu suck that up while cooking, or if you do what he's done and coat with starch add a sauce/dry spice after it just turns out better but, I'm sure others could tell you way more than I.
@augustaseptemberova5664 2 жыл бұрын
For vegans: I've tried this without egg .. it works well, but you need to double-fry. Put the cooked dry tofu in a bag with good excess of starch. shake till all is covered. Fry, let cool on a paper that absorbs fat, fry again. After one frying the tofu is crispy but will get soggy in next steps. With double frying the tofu stays crispy forever.

I made this yesterday it was delicious. I did skip the blanching of the tofu as I was in a rush but still followed the techniques and got a lovely end result. I needed to swap out the cornstarch for rice flour as that was all I had. I tossed it in some chili oil just before serving and all my kids finished the pot! Thankyoufor this great recipe. it was such a light but flavorful meal.
@planetstarbucks2348 2 жыл бұрын
I made this last night and it was smashing good. I am once again mind-blown at how a simple method of preparing the tofu has such a profound impact on the outcome. I'd done many a fried tofu dish with the simple "dust in cornstarch then fry" and it was fine. This method though...it's not even a fair comparison. I had to take a taste bite of just the tofu, and I would eat it without any other preparation. It absolutely brought the tofu to life.

I've been taught how to make this dish around a week ago and now I'm stocking a lot of tofu just to make this dish DAILY. breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack I can't get myself to stop making this dish. It's so simple, yet so flavorful and even more complete with hot rice my god.

Oh gosh this was so delicious. You know it turns out delicious when the kids just keep shoving their chopsticks in their mouths and don't talk. We felt like we were back in Cheung Chau on a sunny Saturday. Thank you for teaching me this favourite. I made a mistake though and forgot to dip it in the egg even though I prepared it. So it was double coated. Don't give up if you make this mistake! It was still so good double crusted!

Another EXCELLENT Video. In it you mention considering offering a class on Chinese Cooking. YES! Please do! I have followed Many You Tube Video creators offering Asian Cuisine and find Che Lau's to be the BEST and easiest to follow! Thank you for sharing your wonderful culture through food!

In Vietnamese cooking, we stuff the tofu with ground pork, and/or add tomato sauce, or just fry tofu with lemongrass.

I tried to make this dish for dinner last night and it was yummy delicious! Although it takes me some effort for someone like me who doesn’t cook often, but I think it’s definitely worth it! 😊

Just made this for the first time and I let my mother try it after she commented how good the kitchen smelled and she LOVED IT. She had already eaten and was getting ready to take a nap but she couldn't resist asking for more after the first sample, saying how flavorful it was haha. Boiling with salt before doing the frying process made a big difference and the texture is so wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful recipe Laoshi!!
