- Dip seasoned tofu cubes into club soda mixture then dip into panko mixture. Set tofu cubes aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat vegetable oil and drop a few pieces of cubed tofu in at a time. Turn pieces over to get a golden crust on all sides of cubes. Remove tofu and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
