Japanese 30 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Cut the tofu into 8 thick pieces. Dry well on kitchen paper towels.
- Cut the nori sheet in small pieces.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, nori sheet pieces, and a generous amount of salt and freshly ground pepper, and place in a shallow bowl.
- Place the egg whites in another shallow bowl and lightly beat them.
- Dip the tofu into the beaten egg white then roll in the crumb mixture to coat. Repeat this process for a double coat.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan (it should reach 2-3cm up the sides of the pan) until it reaches 180°C on a kitchen thermometer.
- Fry the tofu, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side, or until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper towels.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok. Once hot, add the veggies to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the soya sauce.
- Serve the crispy tofu on top of the veggies.
