Tips

Coat tofu slices lightly in corn flour for a more crisp and golden texture.
If using silken-firm tofu, wrap the block between kitchen towels and place a small saucepan on top for 10-15 minutes to drain excess water.
Pat tofu dry with clean kitchen towels before slicing.
Adjust lemon or lime juice according to preference, adding more for zing.
