Change the paper and turn over the slices.3In pan, mix sauce ingredients, and heat in a pan until boiling. Turn off the heat.4Sprinkle starch on a plate. Arrange the tofu slices on it. Sprinkle more starch over the tofu.5Heat the oil to 355°F (180°C) for deep frying.6Pat any excess starch off the tofu slices and slide them into the hot oil, one by one.
