Title: Basic deep-fried bean curd
 Categories: Vegetable
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4    Cakes bean curd
           Oil for deep-frying
           Salt
 
  1. Cut bean curd cakes in 1-inch cubes. Blot gently with paper
  toweling to remove as much moisture as possible.
  
  2. Heat oil and deep-fry bean curd cubes, several at a time, until
  puffed up and golden. Drain on paper toweling. Sprinkle with salt and
  serve hot.
  
  NOTE: Deep-fried bean curd cubes can be added to any stir-fried dish.
  They should be added at the very end, only to heat through (so as not
  to lose their interesting texture and crispness). Speared on
  toothpicks, these are also excellent as an hors d'oeuvre to serve
  with cocktails. VARIATION: At the end of step 2, also sprinkle
  lightly with hot sauce.
