Since the sixth grade of elementary school, I have been on the road of no return to the mixed canteen. I walked this way until I graduated from university, and I ate the cafeteria meal for 11 years~~ It's really hard!
Why do you want to introduce this high school cafeteria dish in particular today? Why not introduce a certain canteen dish in elementary school or junior high school or university?
That's because: In my long and hard 11-year canteen career, only the canteen food during the high school period impressed me deeply, which can be called "delicious". In other stages, the canteen dishes are all kinds of sad and difficult to swallow~~~ Among the high school canteen dishes, the most loved by children’s shoes, even if you eat a dish that is not greasy every day, it is not "sweet and sour tofu". Belong!
The crispy tofu skin absorbs the thick sweet and sour sauce. After one bite, a burst of heat bursts out. The tender tofu heart burst in the mouth. Although the tongue is tortured by the high temperature, it is sweet and sour. The sauce stimulates you to eat another bite of white rice immediately. The happiness that the deliciousness brings to me is unforgettable today.

Ingredients

500g Old Tofu
15ml Vinegar
30ml Ketchup
10ml Soy Sauce
2g Salt
10g-15g Sugar
15ml Water Starch
Some Chopped Green Onion
Some Sesame

Sweet and Sour Crispy Tofu

1. Mix all the seasonings except the chopped green onion in a bowl, mix thoroughly and set aside

2. Cut old tofu into mahjong-sized pieces

3. Use kitchen paper to carefully absorb the moisture on the surface

4. After the oil in the pot is 80% hot, put the tofu cubes in one by one and fry them until golden on both sides

5. If there is a lot of oil in the pot at this time, you can pour out part of it and pour the mixed sauce into the pot

6. After the sauce is thickened by the fire, sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds and turn off the heat

Tips:
1. For this dish, please use old tofu. The tender tofu is too tender and has a lot of water. It will not only splash oil when frying, but also easily scatter.
2. Before frying the old tofu, try to wipe off the water on the surface, which can effectively avoid oil splashing during frying.
3. The ratio of sugar to vinegar can be adjusted according to your own taste. You like sweet ones with more sugar, and sour ones with more vinegar or ketchup.
