Crispy Salt and Pepper Tofu

Many of us like the idea of cooking tofu at home because it is a healthy source of plant-based protein, but we are not sure where to begin. This dish of tofu cubes coated in a thin cornstarch batter and seasoned with nothing more than salt and pepper is a perfect starting place. Not only is this recipe foolproof, but the crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture will win over any tofu skeptics.

Normally crispy tofu, which is common on Chinese restaurant menus, is deep-fried.
