How to make fried tofu expand

After the fried tofu is made, it appears to be particularly soft, larger than before, and appears to be particularly puffy. If you want to make puffy fried tofu, you must understand some precautions. When frying it in the pan, you must first heat it with high heat, and then fry the fried tofu with high heat. When it turns brown, you must fry it slowly with low heat. This is the only way to make the fried tofu crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
