How To Fry Soft Tofu
There are different kinds of tofu (extra-firm, firm, soft, silken, etc.). The best for deep frying is the soft tofu that is sold in big tubs . You can always freeze your fried tofu for use later.

At least 20 minutes before you're ready to start frying, lay out a thick layer of newspaper. About 1/2" should be sufficient.
Place a layer of paper towels on top of the newspaper.

Rinse your tofu blocks well, then slice them to the desired size. The bigger the block, the more soft white middle there will be. If you like your tofu more crispy and chewy, cut your pieces smaller.

Line up the tofu pieces on the prepared newspaper. The newspaper will absorb moisture from the tofu (and the paper towel will keep the newsprint from bleeding onto the tofu) this prevents explosions of oil that occur when you throw water into hot oil.

Lay a paper towel on top of the tofu and press gently to absorb moisture.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. The oil should be about half the height (the shortest side) of your tofu pieces, which will be enough to cover the full height of the tofu pieces once they're added to the pan. The heat you should use depends on your stove. You want the oil hot enough that a small piece of tofu thrown in immediately sizzles, but not so hot that the tofu brown too quickly (or burn).

Once the oil is hot enough, slide the tofu pieces into the pan. Do not just drop the tofu in as the hot oil might splash up and burn you. Add enough tofu to cover the surface area of the pan. Once the tofu are in, use a spatula to gently separate them (they like to stick onto each other at this stage). Don't squeeze the tofu too hard in the pan as they may release water and cause hot-oil-popping.

Fry until the tofu is nicely golden on one side, then flip them over. Once the tofu pieces are golden on all sides, fish them out and place them in a colander or bowl lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

Freshly fried tofu ready . Once the tofu has cooled to room temperature, you can put them in freezer bags and freeze for later use.
