How To Make fried, spiced tofu

• 
  Step 1
  Drain and press tofu to remove all liquid. I use paper towels to absorb liquid and a bowl with water in it to put pressure on the tofu.
• 
  Step 2
  Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices; then cut again into 1/2-inch wide sticks.
• 
  Step 3
  Put tofu in a bowl, and pour the broth over the top. Set aside to soak.
• 
  Step 4
  In a separate bowl, stir together potato starch, panko, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, sage, and cayenne.
• 
  Step 5
  Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• 
  Step 6
  Remove tofu sticks from broth, and squeeze most, but not all, of the liquid from them. Roll sticks in breading, being sure to get a good coating of the breading. It is usually necessary to repeat until sticks are well coated.
• 
  Step 7
  Place tofu in hot oil; fry until crisp and browned on all sides. Add more oil if necessary.
• 
  Step 8
  When browned, drain on paper towels.
• 
  Step 9
  Serve with a dipping sauce. I am using an eggplant dip here. Other good sauces for dipping include: sweet & sour sauce, French dressing, Tiger sweet & spicy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
