Trim the edges of the tofu for even cubes and save the trimmings for smoothies.

Soak the tofu in a mixture of water and soy sauce for about 20 minutes to season it evenly.

Prepare the seasoning mix with fine salt, sugar, and ground white pepper.

Crush garlic cloves and add them to a bowl.

Slice green serrano chilies and add them to the bowl with garlic.

Cut the white part of the green onions on the bias and add to the garlic and chilies, keeping the green part separate for later.

Drain the tofu after soaking to prevent it from getting saltier.

Beat an egg with a splash of water to thin it out.

Season fine breadcrumbs with black pepper.

Coat the tofu in the egg mixture, then in the fine breadcrumbs, and repeat for a double coating.

Heat frying oil to 350°F and fry the tofu until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.

Remove the tofu from the oil and drain on paper towels.
