1.Tofu selection: Puning tofu has a hard texture and is suitable for frying. If you can't buy it, you can use old tofu instead, but the taste will be slightly different.
2.Oil temperature control: If the oil temperature is too high, it will be fried easily; if the oil temperature is too low, the tofu will absorb too much oil. It is recommended to use chopsticks to test and insert them into the oil to make small bubbles.
3.Recommended dipping sauce: The traditional dipping sauce is chive brine (chopped chives + salt water). It can also be paired with chili sauce or sand tea sauce according to preference.
