Heat a ¼-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, add coated tofu in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer tofu to a paper-towel-lined plate. Immediately season with salt and pepper.
