Fried Tofu With Peanut Sauce

1. 1

   Cut the block of tofu into quarters vertically and horizontally so that you end up with 16 pieces. Lay them on a paper towel to soak up some of the liquid before frying.

2. 2

   Heat a wok with about 1 inch of oil in it to medium-high. Once the oil is hot, carefully lower the tofu into it and let it fry for several minutes, turning occasionally. When the tofu is golden brown on all sides, take it out and lay on a paper towel to soak up excess oil.
