INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 tablespoons plain flour
  • 6 tablespoons ice water
  • 1/2 cup lightly toasted bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of cayenne pepper
  • Oil for frying
  • 450 grams / 1 pounds firm, fresh tofu pressed, frozen, thawed and cut into 2.5 centimeters / 1 inch cubes

Sauce

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 4 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

METHOD:
In a small bowl, whisk the flour and water together to make a smooth batter; in a separate dish, toss the breadcrumbs with the salt and cayenne pepper.

Heat 2.5 centimeters / 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet or wok.

Dip each tofu cube in the batter to coat, then roll the cubes in the breadcrumb mixture. Drop the cubes into the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the cubes and continue cooking until they are golden brown. Drain the cubes on paper towels and serve immediately with mustard dipping sauce.

Sauce
Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of water. Place the cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan and add the remaining ingredients. Heat the sauce stirring constantly, until thickened.
