- 1 x 300 g (10 oz) packet silken tofu

Directions
Deep Fried Tofu with Sichuan Pepper and Salt and Lemon
Gently remove tofu from packet and invert onto a plate.
Carefully slice into 6 cubes by cutting tofu lengthways in half, then widthways into thirds, draining off any excess liquid.
Heat oil in a hot wok until surface seems to shimmer slightly.
Lightly coat tofu pieces in flour and using a spatula, carefully lower into the hot oil – it is important not to coat the tofu in advance of heating the oil, or it will become very moist and sticky.
Deep-fry tofu for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on kitchen paper.
Arrange tofu on a platter garnished with coriander and serve immediately, sprinkled with Sichuan pepper and salt and accompanied by lemon halves.Category:CleanupFrom [http://tor4.wikia.com Tmp], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.From [http://recipes.wikia.com Recipes Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.
