Crispy Fried Tofu with Caviar & Creme Fraiche
Equipment needed
- 2 medium bowls
- 1 mesh sieve (a strainer)
- 1 whisk
- 1 pot with oil at 350°F for frying
Ingredients
- 1 Block tofu (Frozen and thawed)
- 5 oz Sparkling mineral water
- 4 Large egg yolks
- 1 cup Corn starch
- 1 Tbsp Baking powder
- Ice cubes
Process
- Freezer tofu and thaw. Cut into desired bite size pieces.
- Season to your liking. My secret not so secret blend is MSG, Nutritional Yeast, Lemon pepper, Old bay, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Batter time!
- In a bowl place 8 to 6 ice cubes. Pour over the Egg Yolks and Mineral water. Stir gently because it will foam and fizz.
- In the 2nd bowl combine Flour and Baking Powder.
- With your strainer over the dry ingredients, pour liquids into the dry. Whisk gentle until smooth.
- Dip bite size tofu and fry until GBD! (Golden brown and delicious).
- Rest on to a paper towel. Season immediately with finishing flaky salt. Flor de sal.
Now for the plating!
