    Crispy Tofu Recipe with Step by Step pictures. Delicious Crispy nuggets of tofu fried with panko coating tossed in sweet chilli sauce.

    Crispy Tofu 

    I love tofu, this is my favourite way of enjoying tofu. It is crispy and like bite size heaven. With a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce all over it, it is perfect.

    I had some panko crumbs in my pantry and i used those, this made my tofu so crispy. But you can use normal breadcrumbs. It will make the tofu just fine. This is great for any parties as well, just plate these and drizzle the top with some sweet chilli sauce and stick a toothpick over it, there you have a perfect appetizer.

      Hi Aarthi, I've been your follower since long... Love your recipies, more than that your presentation...
      Did you make tofu by yourself? If not, which brand do you use and recommend? I recently got a store bought packet, and was not satisfied by its texture, it was hard and rubbery...
