The Best Way to Pan-Fry Tofu

June 3, 2022 by Samuel Warde Leave a Comment

pan fried tofu

Everybody loves a golden brown, crispy piece of pan-fried tofu, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. I’ve been frying up tofu for well over 10 years, and I’ve tried a dozen different methods, but this is by far my favorite. The reason being, I get consistent results each and every time and the flavor is outstanding. It’s also a very simple and straightforward method that’s easy to remember.

I picked this up from watching French chefs. It’s essentially the same way a classically trained chef might go about pan-frying fish or frog legs. You simply season the tofu the way you like it, then give it a light coating of flour and fry it in a good cooking oil. If you like, you can also add some vegan butter.

The Best Way to Pan-Fry Tofu

Ingredients

  • Firm or extra firm tofu
  • Flour
  • Grapeseed oil or cooking oil of choice
  • Vegan butter (optional)
  • Seasonings

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp grapeseed oil over medium heat in a nonstick frying pan. You can also add some dairy-free margarine if you like.
  2. Slice tofu into thin slices – about 1/2" - 1/4" thick. You could also choose to cube the tofu or cut it pretty much any way you like.
  3. Season tofu with salt and any other spices you like. I like using sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper or chili powder. Rub the spices in with your finger, then dip the tofu in flour on each side and lightly coat.
  4. Place the tofu in the frying pan and fry on each side for about 3 - 4 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

If you want to make this gluten-free, simply use corn starch instead of flour.
