Freezing and thawing extra-firm tofu and then wringing out its moisture makes the slabs more porous and receptive to the tangy pickle juice marinade in this craveworthy fried tofu sandwich. After a brief soak in pickle juice, the tofu is dredged in a spiced flour mixture, brushed with a hot sauce and mustard, and then dredged again and fried to yield the crispy, crunchy slabs for a satisfying vegetarian meal that gives fried fish sandwiches a run for their money.

  • Stir together hot sauce and mustard in a small bowl; set aside. Stir together flour, cornstarch, black pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper in a separate shallow bowl. Pour oil into a large, heavy skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch; heat oil over medium-high until oil is gently rippling or reaches 350°F.

  • 从泡菜汁中取出豆腐,然后拍干;丢弃泡菜汁。一次与1张豆腐板一起工作,将豆腐挖成面粉混合物,轻轻按下粘附。将豆腐放在碗上以摆脱多余的东西;转移到板上。

  • Working with 1 floured tofu slab at a time, lightly brush hot sauce mixture all over tofu. Re-dredge tofu in flour mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Tap tofu against bowl to shake off excess; transfer to a plate.

  • 小心地将豆腐板加入热油;炸至5至7分钟,直到酥脆和金黄色,用钳子在烹饪时间中途将豆腐翻转。从煎锅中取出炸豆腐,然后放在有框烤盘内的电线架上。立即撒上盐分味道。

  • Serve tofu on hamburger buns with spicy mayonnaise, pickles, cabbage, and hot sauce.

Note

A standard 32-ounce jar of dill pickles, such as Mt. Olive Hamburger Dill Chips, should yield roughly 1 1/2 cups dill pickle juice.
