These are tofu squares. In fact, it is Fried Tofu, available from any Asian or Chinese Grocery.
For a quick snack, pan fry without any additional oil. Sprinkle with Sea Salt (preferable Celtic Sea Salt) and black or white pepper.
You can eat them as they are, or top them with grated carrot and daikon, and some bean sprouts. I like them on their own.
Eat. Enjoy. Yum.

Hello VegeYum, Thanks for visiting my blog. I was searching for an ID to mail you, but couldn’t find one. Answering yr question, Thiruvadhirai falls on the 24th Dec this year, based on our Lunar calendar. I hope this helps

I get tofu but never tried this. sounds interesting, I’m not sure about eating plain but sounds good to put in a curry as this will save sometime from frying tofu and also some extra calories.:)

gosh, gal, you make tofu look so glamorous.

Hi sivapriya, yes it would go great in curries, or even floating in a plate of soup! Make sure that you get “Tofu Puffs” or “Fried Tofu Squares” for this. Yummy.
Hi bee, yeah, tofu is definitely under rated. I really like it.

I’ve been craving tofu this whole week but could not think of something to do with it. Now I know. To the grocer I go.

VegeYum, thanks for visiting my blog. I followed to your blog and I love it!
It’s funny, I am just exploring the variety of fried tofu in my Korean Supermarket. This is something you can get hooked with. They are so delicious that I couldn’t even write about it… I first had to digest
I’ll let you know when I have it posted.

hi milz. I am enjoying learning more about Korean food from your blog. I agree with you – you can certainly get hooked on all kinds of tofu. Love to know when you have posted it. Thanks for visiting.

Yum! We had fried tofu puffs yesterday, in a Chinese hot pot meal that I did at home. They’re my vegetarian husband’s favourite! Have a look at the photos – under How to Make Chinese Hot Pot…Helen Yuet Ling
I have only just caught up on your comment, after all this time! Don’t you just love tofu puffs. I will revisit your post.
