Preparation: Place the tofu in the freezer and freeze it a day before using it. When ready, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw naturally.
Marinate: Drain the water from the tofu, then tear it into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add the garlic ginger soy sauce, mix well, and marinate for about 5 minutes.
Pan-fry: Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Take each piece of tofu, squeeze out any excess moisture, coat it with potato starch, and fry in the pan until golden brown and crispy.
Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the fried tofu to a wire rack to drain off any excess oil.
