Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: For best results, use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place a heavy object on top.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the lemongrass, garlic, shallot, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce (if using), and sesame oil for the lemongrass sauce.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.

Add the cubed tofu to the lemongrass sauce, gently toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: Marinating longer, even up to 30 minutes, will enhance the flavor.
- 4
While the tofu marinates, prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually by soaking in hot water for a few minutes until tender.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Do not overcook the noodles; they should still have a slight chew.

Drain the cooked noodles and rinse them with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Add the marinated tofu to the hot skillet in a single layer, reserving any remaining marinade.
Aşçının notu: Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.

Cook the tofu for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Yaklaşık 12 dk.

Pour the reserved marinade over the cooked tofu and cook for another minute, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
