Preparing Tofu for Frying

Frying Tofu

2. Fry your tofu in batches for about 2-3 minutes for the first batch. Then turn your heat up just a little for the second batch. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Preparing Sauce and Final Mixing
1. In a saucepan, add some oil and sauté the ginger, garlic, red onion, and Thai chili.
2. Next, add soy sauce and mayo. Cook that down so the mayo can mix in with the sauce.
