Stir the salt, Chinese five-spice mixture, sugar, garlic, and ginger in a baking bowl and place on a plate.
Cut the tofu pieces in half diagonally so that they form two triangles. Then cut each triangle in half repeatedly until there are 16 triangles.
Roll the tofu triangles in the herb mixture to coat them completely. Set aside for 1 hour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok until smoking hot for deep frying.
Reduce the temperature a little and fry the tofu triangles in the oil form and for 5 min until golden brown. Lift out the tofu with a wok turner, set aside and keep warm for later.
Add the leek to the wok and fry for 1 minute. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Place the leek on a heated serving plate and top with the fried tofu. Garnish with fresh, chopped leek and bring to the table on the spot.
the process is complete, then bring the whole thing to the table together.
Our tip: As an alternative to fresh herbs, you can also use frozen ones – they also stand out for their fresh taste!
