This healthy, tasty bean curd dish is a great source of protein.

Ingredients

400 g (¾~1 lb.) bean curd (the firm type, not soft)
½ cup flour
3 cups oil for deep-frying

Seasoning
10 g (½ oz.) ginger root, cut into tiny strips
4 tbs. soy sauce
1 Tbs. light corn syrup
2 tsp. red pepper paste (optional)
1/3 cup water

Directions

1. Wrap the bean curd in clean cheesecloth and weigh it down with a
cutting board or dish for 2 minutes. This will squeeze out the excess
water. Cut the bean curd into 1¼ x 1¼ x ½ -inch pieces.
2. Roll in flour, then deep-fry in oil at 350° F (150° C) until golden brown. Drain.
3. To make seasoning: Combine ginger, soy sauce, light corn syrup, red pepper paste and water.
4. Simmer the bean curd in the sauce until heated through.
