Crispy Tofu Curry - Leftover Ideas step by step

2. Add your leftover curried veggies or sauce in pan, mixing in the minced meat. Note: To keep the tofu crispy, don't let it drown in curry sauce. Just add a few teaspoons to add flavour to the tofu..
3. When the curry in pot is heated through, tear or cut your crispy tofu coarsely unto the pan. Quickly sauté it and add your additional powdered spices and salt, to taste. Don't leave it too long in pan, tofu will lose its crisp..
4. Remove from pan and serve immediately. Enjoy its crispy curried goodness, like I did. 😊.

Try to not flip the tofu too soon, as it'll break apart this way. Just let it sit, and when the tofu "let's go" of the pan on it's own with a gentle push of your spatula, then you can flip it. Press the tofu to drain excess moisture. To maintain maximum crispiness post-frying, move the fried tofu to a wire cooling rack while you finish cooking.
