CRISPY TOFU
Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place 1 tsp of the cornflour in a bowl, pour in ½ tsp of water, and add a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. Place a pot over medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. Place the remaining cornflour in a separate bowl and season well. Add the tofu to the bowl of cornflour paste, and toss until fully coated. One by one, remove each piece and coat in the dry cornflour, dusting off any excess before transferring to a plate. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the tofu for 3-4 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Remove on completion and drain on paper towel.

Stir through the sweet ’n sour sauce and 20ml of a sweetener of choice. Allow to come to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Stir through the tofu pieces until fully coated.
