    4 tbs oil, for shallow frying
    Salt
    Flavourings, as desired, such as salt and vinegar, garlic or onion salt, paprika, dried herb mixes

Directions

For phases 1, 2, 3; 2.5g net carbs; 40g protein for the whole batch

1. Cut the tofu into very thin slices, like crisps.
2. Fry the tofu in 1cm oil in a frying pan until crisp and golden on one side, then turn them over and cook the other side. You may need to do them in two batches, depending on the size of your frying pan, because it is important for them to have enough room to cook evenly.
3. Drain the crisps on kitchen paper - the first batch will keep perfectly well while you do the rest. Toss them all with a little salt and the flavouring of your choice and serve as soon as possible. They will keep crisp for about an hour, but get rather leathery after that, so don't do them too far in advance.
