Thai Name: Tofu Tord (เต้าหู้ทอด)
Origins: Tofu Tord — crispy fried tofu — is one of the most universally eaten and genuinely beloved street food dishes in Thailand and one that holds a special place in the Thai vegetarian and Buddhist Jay tradition that has influenced Thai cooking for centuries. Tofu itself arrived in Thailand through centuries of Chinese cultural and culinary exchange, embraced by Thai cooks who recognised immediately that its neutral flavour and remarkable ability to absorb surrounding flavours and sauces made it one of the most versatile and valuable ingredients in the Thai kitchen. At street food markets across Thailand from Bangkok’s Chatuchak Weekend Market to the night bazaars of Chiang Mai, vendors fry tofu to order in woks of hot oil — the outside becoming golden and crispy while the inside remains soft, warm and yielding — and serve it with sweet chilli sauce in the combination that has made Tofu Tord one of Thailand’s most consistently popular street food snacks for generations. It is a dish that appeals to everyone — vegetarian or not.
Our Version: At Sireeya’s Taste of Thailand, every piece of Tofu Tord is prepared and fried by Sireeya herself — six generous pieces of tofu fried to order until the exterior is perfectly golden and crispy all the way around while the centre remains soft, warm and completely tender. The contrast between the two textures is the defining quality of a well-made Tofu Tord and it is one that requires careful attention to temperature and timing to achieve consistently — too cool and the outside is pale and soft, too hot and the inside overcooks before the outside reaches its golden crispness. Sireeya’s version gets this balance exactly right, producing a crispy fried tofu that delivers that characteristic contrast of textures in every single piece. Served with a sweet chilli dipping sauce whose balance of sweetness and gentle heat is the perfect complement to the neutral warmth of the fried tofu.
What You Get: Six pieces of crispy fried tofu handmade by Sireeya — golden and crispy outside, soft and tender inside. Served with sweet chilli dipping sauce.
Tofu Tord is crispy, warming and completely satisfying — here’s what our customers love ordering alongside it to build a complete and flavourful vegetarian Thai meal.
🌿 Pad Kra Pao — with tofu
Tofu Tord followed by Pad Kra Pao ordered with tofu is one of the most exciting and authentically Thai vegetarian meal combinations on the entire menu. The bold, fierce holy basil stir fry with garlic, chilli and oyster sauce — one of the most eaten dishes in all of Thailand — takes on a completely different but equally compelling character when made with tofu, the neutral protein absorbing the smoky, punchy basil sauce in a way that delivers every bit as much flavour and satisfaction as the meat version. After the gentle warmth of the crispy fried tofu starter, Pad Kra Pao with tofu arrives as the most dramatic and rewarding possible escalation — from soft and golden to fierce and fragrant, from gentle to bold, from street food snack to one of Thailand’s most celebrated wok dishes.
🍜 Tom Kha — Coconut Soup with tofu
Tom Kha Coconut Soup ordered with tofu is one of the most elegant and deeply satisfying vegetarian main courses on the menu and a beautiful companion to Tofu Tord. The gentle, creamy coconut broth with lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves — one of the most distinctive and aromatic soups in all of Thai cooking — provides a warm, soothing and fragrant follow-on to the crispy fried tofu starter that feels completely natural and completely considered. The tofu inside the Tom Kha absorbs the aromatic coconut broth gradually as you eat, becoming increasingly flavourful with every spoonful — a completely different expression of the same ingredient that appeared crispy and golden in the starter, and a pairing that rewards customers who appreciate the extraordinary versatility of tofu in Thai cooking.
🥥 Red Curry — with tofu or vegetables
Thai Red Curry ordered with tofu or fresh vegetables makes a deeply satisfying and warmly aromatic main course after Tofu Tord — the rich, creamy coconut sauce made with Sireeya’s authentic Koh Lanta curry paste enveloping the tofu in a way that demonstrates exactly why this ingredient has been central to Thai curry cooking for centuries. Tofu absorbs the bold red curry paste and coconut milk sauce beautifully, becoming a vehicle for the deep southern Thai flavours of the Koh Lanta paste in every mouthful. The crispy fried tofu starter and the silky curry tofu main together create a meal that explores everything this remarkable ingredient can do across two completely different cooking methods — and the result is genuinely memorable.
🥬 Tung Tong Je
A pairing that brings two of the most charming and characterful vegetarian starters on the menu together for a shared Thai street food experience. Tung Tong Je — four crispy golden vegetarian wonton sacks filled with diced vegetables and served with sweet chilli sauce — shares the same crispy, golden, street-food spirit as Tofu Tord and together the two dishes create a vegetarian starter spread that is varied in texture and shape while cohesive in character. Order both for the table and let everyone share — the combination of crispy wonton sacks and golden fried tofu with two portions of sweet chilli sauce is the kind of relaxed, generous Thai street food experience that Sireeya’s menu does best.
