• ¼ cup corn starch
• ½ tsp red chilli powder
• For marination-
• 2 tbsp soya sauce
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp Red chilli powder

1. First squeeze water completely from tofu by pressing tofu with heavy objects like a chopping board. Then freeze it overnight.
2. Later thaw it fully, drain the water. Again squeeze out water by keeping tofu wrapped with dry napkins under heavy objects for 20 mins. Wait  until it is completely dry.
3. Now tofu has a meat-like texture(see picture 1). Tear tofu slab into pieces by hand instead of a knife.
