Miso fried tofu

I make these Miso fried tofu bites regularly because they are easy, healthy, yummy and very versatile – they can be kept in the fridge until I need them. You can eat them as snacks during the day or serve them as nibbles with a glass of wine; alternatively add them to salads,  stews & soups.
