Fried tofu is tofu that has been cooked in oil until the exterior becomes golden and crispy while the interior stays soft.
It's a staple in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, appearing in stir-fries, curries, and noodle dishes.
The frying transforms tofu's bland sponginess into something with texture and flavor: I added some fried tofu to the pad thai.
