Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to use firm tofu for this recipe. Soft tofu will not hold its shape when fried.
- When frying the tofu, be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the temperature and prevent the tofu from crisping properly.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your preference, adding more teriyaki sauce or soy sauce if desired.
