Silken tofu is one of the most deceptively simple ingredients in the kitchen. Its soft, fragile structure challenges even seasoned chefs. But in the hands of Luke Nguyen, it becomes a refined entrée—balanced, beautiful, and full of flavour.
Tofu has long been a staple in Asian cooking, celebrated for its versatility and ability to absorb flavour. In this recipe, Luke lightly fries silken tofu to a crisp, golden finish while keeping the centre soft and delicate. He then finishes the dish with a savoury soy-based sauce layered with fragrant ginger and scallions, creating contrast in both flavour and texture.
For delicate ingredients like silken tofu, stability and accuracy in oil temperature are crucial. The B+S Rapid Electric Fryer gives chefs the control they need to strike that delicate balance—allowing the tofu to crisp quickly without drying out the centre. Its responsive heat control and commercial-grade durability make it a staple in Luke’s kitchen.
In the high-pressure environment of a commercial kitchen, timing, efficiency, and consistency aren’t optional—they’re essential. The Rapid Electric Fryer is engineered to deliver on all fronts, giving chefs the confidence to focus on technique, not temperature.
