However, in this lugaw at tokwa version, I did away with the customary pork for quick gratification and used only firm tofu, which I deep-fried to a lovely crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I find the crispy tokwa and its soy sauce-vinegar dressing flavorful enough, I like to cook my congee in plain water with a basic seasoning of ginger and salt.

Wrap the tofu block in a thick layer of paper towels, set it over a wire rack, and weigh it down with a saucer or plate for about 15 to 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut tofu block in uniform size to ensure even cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat the oil to an optimal temperature of 350 F to prevent tofu from sticking and absorbing too much grease. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use enough oil, and do not overcrowd the pan to allow enough room for the tofu to brown evenly.
