Tips for Making Crispy Pepper Salt Tofu

To make the tofu extra crispy, double-fry it. Fry the tofu once until it is golden brown, then remove it from the skillet and let it cool. Fry the tofu again until it is crispy and golden brown.

If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.

Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when frying the tofu. This will prevent the tofu from getting crispy.
