Default pre-fried tofu?

I like pan frying my tofu....I always see the pre-fried stuff on the
shelf right next to the regular stuff, and I'd love to try it. It's
very puffy looking, with a crispy brown skin. What does one do with
tofu that's already fried and being stored pre-packaged?
Thanks in advance,
Jen

I imagine you would use it the same way you would use any other tofu
that you cooked yourself...... ;-)

Sounds like it's been deep fried?

Hi,
I'm not sure you can just substitute it for plain old tofu (someone
here will hopefully tell me) - it's very puffy looking. I have no idea
if one is expected to re-fry it, or heat it, or what.....

I'll bet it would be good in a salad, or nuke it and add it to a stir-fry.

Don't expect it to be crispy. The frying gives it a different texture and I
like it in stirfries and soups. It can be very oily and you may want to
rinse it with boiling water before use.

This is probably atsuage (deep-fried tofu). You can cook it in a lot of
ways. It is often used in nimono (Japanese stews). An easy (and tasty)
way to prepare it is to heat it in an oven toaster and then eat it with
fresly grated ginger root and soy sauce.

Look up abura age and agedofu for recipes.
