my process is to take and drain some regular grocery store tofu and slice it into two. then i slice each half of the block into cubes but leave em blocked up and wrap em each in a paper towel like a christmas present to dry out. i start the oil going in the pan, you don't need as much as you think, and mix up dredge in a bowl, you need more than you think, while everythings drying/getting hot. once the paper towel is soaked through i'll take it off a block and toss em in the dredge. i like to let em sit for a little bit and also make sure none of em are stuck together.

i add em to the pan one by one and once thyere all in, put the other block in the dredge and toss and make sure theyre not stuck together. once that's done its time to flip all the tofu in the pan over in the rough order they were added and if you got a lopsided stove like mine, spin the pan around.

a little later, take out the tofu and set em in a strainer over a bowl to drip dry and do the next block.

e: rough amounts for oil and dredge: enough that youre gonna start a "used cooking oil" jug when youre done, maybe a quarter to a half cup, maybe more. enough dredge that youre gonna start a "dredge for frying things" tupperware that lives over the stove, about two or three cups, maybe more. remember to heavily spice the dredge! it if tastes like youre licking it*lian bread then you did it right.
