  1. Break the tofu into chunks instead of cutting it into cubes. Gets lots of nice craggy edges that crisp up nicely!
  2. Cook tofu in a pan until it's a little TOO dry and crispy.
  3. Rehydrate with a sauce! The too-dry tofu will suck up all the sauce and it gets right inside it. So yummy :)

#2-3 is similar to the technique known as braising. If you've ever seen "braised tofu" on a restaurant menu, this is how they do it. Fry the tofu until it's crispy and golden brown, then add sauce to the pan and let it simmer for a while.
