One of the best ways to cook fresh beancurd skin is to pan fry the pieces until golden brown and crispy. It is crispy outside and soft and moist under the fried surface. In home cooking, I will use pan fry method as less oil is needed. Unless you are prepare a big portion then, deep frying would be a good method. The beancurd skin looks like a sunny up omelette.
This recipe here is slightly different from my previous posts. It is a dry version which little sauce. The fresh beancurd skin [tau pau] are lightly coated with cornflour before frying to prevent them from sticking to the pan and making them more crispy.
A savoury dish with fragrance of sesame seed oil and ginger.

30 gm ginger - cut thin strips
2-3 tbsp sesame seed oil

1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 tsp sugar

- Defrost beancurd skin, press out excess water. Lightly coat each piece with cornflour on both sides.
