Tips
- For extra crispy tofu, ensure you press out as much water as possible before coating with cornstarch.
- These skewers are best served immediately to enjoy the crispy texture. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the crispiness will diminish.
