Ingredients: North tofu, cumin, dry starch, green and red pepper

Practice:
Cut the tofu into the size of Mapo tofu, just a little bigger than your thumb. Cut it large will not taste, but cut it small will easily break.

Tip 1 for making cumin tofu: The tofu should be marinated with cumin pepper powder and salt for 15 minutes in advance.
Pepper powder can remove the fishy smell of beans, and cumin can freshen the tasteless tofu.
Then pat on the starch and dip it one by one.

Then how to fry until the skin is charred and tender: the oil temperature is 60 degrees, fry for 20 seconds, put your hand on the oil pan, and it feels a little shushing and it is suitable for frying. Put one piece of tofu into the pan and start counting to 20 seconds, then pick up. The fried skin is crispy and the inside is tender.
When fried too long, the skin will be hard, but when fried soft, the skin will not stick or crispy
