Hoisin sauce tofu

Tofu with hoisin sauce
Serves 2

1 (12 ounce) package extra firm tofu
3 tablespoons cornstarch
oil for frying
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

First
Make sure you have the firmest type of tofu. Cut the block into 12 cubes. Place cornstarch on a plate or in a shallow bowl and dredge the cubes of tofu in it, coating them thoroughly.

Second
Heat enough oil so that tofu will be half-way submerged. Fry tofu in hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes on all sides, or until the cubes are crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Third
Sprinkle the green onions over tofu and drizzle with hoisin sauce. Serve immediately.
