For extra crispy tofu, consider double-coating the pieces in the flour mixture. This adds an additional layer of crunch. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; cook the tofu in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking. Experiment with different seasonings! Add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika to the flour mixture for a unique flavor profile. Leftover crispy tofu can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
