LEARN HOW TO MAKE A TASTY CRISPY LEMON TOFU RECIPE TODAY!
LAY HO MA (that's how's it going in Cantonese)! What's that saying about when life throws you lemons? Join me in this episode and learn how to make a tasty crispy lemon tofu recipe today!
Ingredients:
350g extra firm tofu
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp maple syrup
1+2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1+1/2 cup AP flour
3/4 cups + 2 tbsp water
2 1/2 cups avocado oil
3 pieces garlic
1 lemon
2 tbsp cane sugar
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp potato starch
1 tsp white sesame seeds
Directions:
1. Pat dry the extra firm tofu with a paper towel. Then, break it apart in to bite sized pieces and place in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Then, gently toss to coat and set aside
2. Set up two plates - one dry station and one wet station. Add 1 cup AP flour to one of the plates. Add 1/2 cup AP flour to the other plate along with 3/4 cups of water and use a fork to dissolve the flour
3. Add half of the tofu to the dry station and coat. Then transfer to the wet station and coat. Transfer back to the dry station and coat again. Set the breaded tofu bites aside. Repeat with the remaining tofu
4. Add the avocado oil to the frying pan and heat on medium heat for a few minutes
5. Carefully place in the breaded tofu (fry in two batches) and fry for 2-4mins. Then, carefully turn over the tofu and fry for another 2-3mins. Carefully transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining tofu
6. Grate the garlic and juice the lemon
7. Heat up a sauté pan to medium heat. Add in 2 tsp toasted sesame oil followed by the garlic and cook for about 1min. Add in the cane sugar, turmeric, and salt. Cook for about 1min, then add in the lemon juice and give the pan a good stir
8. Make a slurry by combining the potato starch with 2 tbsp of water. Pour the slurry into the pan while stirring. If the sauce thickens too quickly, add some more water as needed
9. Transfer in the crispy tofu, turn off the heat, and toss to coat
10. Plate and garnish with some white sesame seeds

LAY HO THERE 👋🏻 I hope you’re keeping well and cooking well. If you’re new to the channel here, welcome! Be sure to pick up your free ebook that has 5 super easy plantbased recipes to get you started with cooking today - link in the description box. Happy cooking 🥳
LAY HO!! I just stumbled upon your channel. I can always tell within a few videos the people that are truly passionate about what they do. I really want to thank you for putting out Vegan content and having very clean straight to the point videos. I will be getting all books and doing the sushi course as my way of supporting the channel and getting a little piece of you in every meal I will prepare out of them. Once more Thank you kindly, buddy. May GOD JESUS BLESS you with peace, and long life.
Your channel is amazing to me, until I started watching a little over a year ago I’d never tried tofu, now I love it, I’m not a vegan but your meals prove that you don’t only have to be vegan to enjoy vegan food, the imagination you put into your recipes never disappoints, my son who is vegan cooks a lot of your recipes also, thank you brother
I'm so glad to hear! 🙌🏻🥳 Happy cooking
Same, I've been watching this channel for years. Recipes never fail to disappoint and nothing is complicated.
I changed to a vegan diet day after Xmas and have so enjoyed watching you cook. Today I made your crispy tofu with the lemon sauce... My 85 y.o.mum who says, " I need meat at every meal" tasted it and couldn't stop eating eat! Thank you!!
I made this fried tofu recipe yesterday for a dinner party and it was absolutely delicious. I added lemon zest and I doubled the glaze amount. Just wonderful - everybody loved it, even the meat-eaters.
😊
Woooo! 🙌🏻🥳
If you want it even more lemony - use an organic lemon and zest it before juicing.
Then add it to the pan after the garlic when making the sauce. Will make the end result that little more fragrant 💛🍋
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I was thinking the same about the zesr. 👍
Thanks so much for this recipe. It was a hit for dinner tonight. I modified it slightly by using a fresh squeezed orange instead of lemon and paired it with rice and hot/sweet spicy oven baked Brussels sprouts. :)
Sounds absolutely delicious 🙌🏻🥳
We almost finished the whole block of tofu because of your irresistible recipe! The leftover flour and marinate can be used to make fritters (in taste similar to chinese fried bread); combine marinate with contents of dry and wet station, add a 1/4 cup sesame seeds and mix, plus extra seasoning if desired (e.g. hot chili oil (hint), soy sauce...) and deep fry by the spoonful 🙂
Instead of flour try instant potato flakes instead. If you want crisp this will do it for sure. You can even crush the flakes a bit for more coverage.
Also a great way to make it gluten free if you need to. Which I do,so now I'm going to have to make it 🤭
Sounds tasty 🙌🏻
So glad to see this suggestion. I have a friend who is very gluten intolerant and I know she would love this!
Thanks for sharing! As someone gluten free this is so helpful to tweak recipe to my dietary needs.
I haven’t tried this yet but I can tell with confidence this is delicious! I’ve tried many of your recipes and they never disappoint!
Hey, Wil: Went fully plant-based Jan 7 and learning how to cook some new dishes. I've been a subscriber for a while now but will be reviewing your recipes for inspiration and recipes 😋
Hello, greetings from oklahoma, USA. Watching now!
Love not only your radio voice, but your vegetarian recipes. I am a vegetarian; I cant wait for your next video.
Wonderful! So glad to hear you are enjoying 🙌🏻
I’m totally going to make this! My neighbor just gave me some beautiful Meyer lemons from her tree! Thanks for the great recipes!
what's not to love about lemons?? The humble workhorse of the kitchen!
thank you for this recipe
😌 enjoy!
I am always looking for lemon recipes as I have a high-producing lemon tree here in Los Angeles, and it's an Italian Eureka lemon variety, which produces giant lemons. They are just about ready to harvest, and I can't wait to try this!! Thank you for yet another GREAT recipe! This will look so nice in your bowls. I HIGHLY recommend them, and so glad that I purchased them.
Make preserved lemons with kosher salt and sugar - super easy and your Eureka lemons are most suitable. In a couple of weeks you will be using them in almost every dish (chicken, fish, lamb are best) and they keep for months in the fridge.
Oh wow! That sounds marvellous 👨🏻🍳👌🏻
😮😮😮
Inspiring recipe, I particularly like the camera work so we can accurately see each step. 10/10, for you and your production team.
Your voice is so soothing I can listen all day long ❤❤❤
I mostly eat a plant based diet and altho I love tofu I was not great at using it in my meals until I found your channel. This is so delicious and easy to make. Thank you so much! Also your videos are pleasant to watch and hear. Just enough material to watch, listen, follow along and enjoy 💖
So glad to hear 🙌🏻🥳 Keep well
You are absolutely amaZZZZZing! I thoroughly enjoy your culinary presentations. Your tone of voice frames the sacredness of each meal as medicine to the mind bosy and Soul! Priceless! 🍽️
With absolute confidence i will make this delicious dish. Thanks.
Most welcome 😊 happy cooking
Thank you so much for providing us with an angelic visualization for a potential plan. ❤️🙏The descriptive expression at the end of the video is especially important to appreciate! Merci beaucoup ✨
I love that I have almost all the ingrediants at my home. The only ingrediant I am missing is the Tofu which I will be buying this week when I go shopping. The recipe seems pretty simple yet flavorful and yummy. I love that there is not much prep work, you can make it easily with most of the ingrediants you have in your cup board or at least for me this is true. A good easy recipe for a single person to make.
🙋🏻♀️same! Enjoy!
Absolutely 🙌🏻😎 Happy cooking and enjoy
THANK YOU!!! I made this crispy tofu lemon dish and it was great ! And I served it with rice. It was delicious and my husband loved it. All your recipes are real keepers and I thank you so much for teaching me so much!!! Abundant Blessings!
Another amazing looking and (I'm sure) tasting recipe! Will definitely try this one out.
Hope you enjoy 🙌🏻
cant wait to try! looks so yummy!! thank you, Wil !! Reading, PA

Great safety tips Will, along with your fab recipes, this one is mine for tonight. Thank you.
For many recipes, it isn't the ingredients that make the dish special, it's the techniques used. I'm definitely trying this one! Meantime, sometime I'd love to see a plant-based version of Ken Hom's Lemon Chicken recipe. I made that dish before I was vegan and it was exquisite, not cloyingly sweet like at many restaurants. Easy to find the recipe on the web. Perhaps could work with pressed tofu or seitan. But the velveting technique--aquafaba instead of egg white? The key for Ken's lemon chicken is that the protein isn't browned. He suggests serving it with cold sesame broccoli on the side (the broccoli being blanched), I guess because the broccoli has some crunch to contrast with the soft lemon glazed protein.
Happy new year to you! And to everyone! Hope the year is great for you all. Thank you Yeung man for your awesome recipe. Looks divine! A must try for me! Have an amazing week ahead. Lots of love from South Africa 💜💜
Happy new year and keep well 🙌🏻
Will this be your year?
Dragon year
This recipe is delish! Thank you for sharing food love and kitchen confidence!!
Thank you for the new video; your recipes are great, and the videos clear and direct. What is it that limits the number of times you can or should re-use your oils?
Made with GF flour. It worked well. Loved the lemon sauce! Thanks !👌
Great to hear 🙌🏻🥳
Hi❤ Thank you for teaching me a lot about cooking. Another amazing recipe.😊❤
What a great idea you gave me! A friend of mine has just came back from China (work trip) and we are having a dinner together this weekend. I'll cook this faboulous recipe! Thank you!!
I love your channel. I will be getting your cookbooks and bowls, but what I really want are the big shallow bowls you use for plating. They are gorgeous.
YUM!!! Wow, that looks so good, for real! Definitely will be cooking this one up soon. Thanks for this recipe.
Hope you enjoy and my pleasure 🙌🏻
The ad preceding your video was for Burger King!😂
Definitely trying this! Yum! Thank you!
My pleasure 🙌🏻 and enjoy!
Hi young man happy Valentines day❤ the best cooking i found in youtube. Thank Q I Maria Singapore
Sounds beyond delicious! I am so hungry after watching this wonderful video. Thank you again and again .
My pleasure and keep well 🙌🏻
WOW, can’t wait to try. Thanks so much for this new addition to your FAB recipes.
Happy cooking 😎
Absolutely delicious thank you for helping with my meal plan!! 💜
Im making this tonight! So excited 😂 I committed to making tofu this morning without a plan so this video was perfectly timed
Perfect timing 🙌🏻 Enjoy!
To the Old Saying about the Lemons and Lemonade, dont forget to use the other Citrus fruit Grapefruit from Chef Wi's video other option. Great 💡 Idea. 😊
So relaxing 2 watch
Another amazing recipe ! Thanks Will !
My pleasure! 🙌🏻🥳
Lay Ho There! We made this for dinner the other night and are so grateful for your recipes! I baked them instead of frying, which was a mistake as I didn't have sprayable oil and these just came out hard with dried flour in the cracks. Frying would have been preferable. However the overall flavor was amazing and we couldn't stop eating it! My lemon was a little dry so I added the zest as per another reviewer's suggestion and it punched up the flavor. They smelled so good in the sauce that I couldn't wait and ended up neglecting to add additional water to loosen it up so they were dryer than in the video. But again, THANK YOU for your wonderful videos and amazing recipes!
I don't have maple syrup, so i will be using buckwheat honey! I know this one will turn out amazing since your recipes never disappoint! I got my friends and family hooked on them, too!
You right delicious dish and very easy to make...
Such an elegant dish😋😍Thank you very much for sharing, Wil🙏🏻🍀❤️🔥
My pleasure 😊
I ordered all of your books and the online class. Awesome recipes! Thank you
Wow! So excited to hear which recipes you cook up 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 Keep well
This looks amazing ❤
I airfryed I am not an oil person but they are still delicious.....pure awesomeness
Great to hear 🙌🏻🥳
Perfectly Lovely!!! Adding the fresh lemon juice must take the flavor over the tip top!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
It really does 👌🏻
This is an excellent variation on the General Tso's tofu you did recently!! Thank you for sharing this yummy dish!
Yes! So many fun flavour and options 🙌🏻
I love your voice . It’s so soothing . Oh and also your cooking 😂
Lay Ho! This recipe reminds me to ask about consumption of Tofu. How much of it can you eat or is there a limit? I love the looks of this as an appetizer. I have one of of your books and I just love it. 😊
I'd really appreciate metric units in the description so I don't always have to try and translate the amounts to the units we use here in Europe. Also makes it way easier to go grocery shopping when I can just look at a recipe and go to the store rather than having to eyeball how much 2 1/2 cups might be in mL. Love the recipes but that part is sometimes holding me back from cooking them
Thank you for teaching me to cook in the coolest way! Much love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
My absolute pleasure to be cooking together 🙌🏻
Your videos make me happy. 😊
🤗
Wonderful do-able recipe. Thank you.
My pleasure 😊 Enjoy!
I adore lemon anything! Thank you! It is hard to resist eating all your tofu before adding the sauce! I add malabar pepper to finish , though but before adding lemon sauce. Make a double batch!
Sounds great! Enjoy 😎
gotta try this looks so good
Just tried this one. It is amazing. Next time I'll even add some zest to the coating for extra tanginess
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes.
My pleasure 😊 Keep well!
Hi my dear friend thanks so much for another great cooking video. You come up with the best recipes and even though I don’t like tofu, I’m sure I could use what you have come up with with anything else and maybe still even make a vegetarian meal thanks for always giving me so much great information and tips. You’re one of my favorite chefs on CZcams. You make everything look and sound so wonderful wonderful
Try cauliflower florets. 😉
Absolutely delicious! I doubled the sauce & it was perfect! This recipe was a hit with everyone and will be a regular favourite 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Cheers! 🙌🏻
I made this last night and it was extremely delicious! Highly recommend!
I have to admit that in the past I've had mixed results trying to bread tofu using just flour. This has definitely inspired me to try again.
❤ I'm gonna try this for sure! Love your meals!
Yay! Happy cooking 🙌🏻
i do this but with orange and ginger! will totally try your lemon version
Sounds great! 🙌🏻 Enjoy
