Ingredients

Directions

1. Drain the tofu, then wrap in several layers of kitchen paper and press firmly to dry and remove as much moisture as possible.
2. Mix the cornflour and Chinese 5-spice in a large mixing bowl. Cut the tofu into 2-3cm cubes and toss in the spiced cornflour until evenly dusted.
3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok and fry the tofu on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden on all sides. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
