Tofu Cubes with Peanut Dipping Sauce

 

3/4 lb. tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 1/4 cups peanut oil, for deep-frying

 

Sauce:

1 oz. roasted peanuts

1 tbsp. sugar

2 tbsps. water

2 tsps. hinese white rice vinegar or cider vinegar

1 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. chili oil

 

 

Combine the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

 

Heat the 1 1/4 cups oil in a deep-fat fryer or a large wok until it almost

smokes. Deep-fry the bean curd cubes in two batches. When each batch of

bean curd cubes is lightly browned, remove and drain well on paper towel.

 

Arrange the bean curd cubes on a platter and serve the peanut sauce

separately as a dipping sauce. Serves 4.
