A tasty snack or appetizer. Tofu cubes are very crispy outside, yet warm and soft inside. Sort of like Asian "french fries". And i simple love the sauce, even used it as salad dressing sometimes!

  1. 1

    Drain tofu (i pressed gently between paper towels).

  2. 2

    Cut into bite-sized cubes.

  3. 3

    Toss with cornstarch, coating the cubes.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle a little salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Heat some oil (about 3-4 tablespoon, just ensure pan is coated).

  6. 6

    Fry the tofu cubes in batches, making sure all sides are lightly browned.

  7. 7

    Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.

  8. 8

    Sauce: Heat the milk in small saucepan (you can make sauce in microwave too).

  9. 9

    Add peanut butter, stirring well.

  10. 10

    Add other seasonings, according to personal taste (I love spicy food, so i added LOTS of chilli flakes!). If you use coconut milk, add 1/2 - 1 tsp of lime juice too - it will be great!

  11. 11

    Serve hot, as a snack or appetizer. Sometimes i serve them with a sweet Chinese dessert: Green Bean Soup.
