1
Pat dry the cheese. Cut the cheese into 1 inch cubes.
2
In a large pot over medium-high heat add your oil. Fry the cheese for 2 minutes or until they are golden brown. After the first minute has past, make sure to turn them over for a uniform color. Make sure to stir the cheese around to avoid it from sticking.
3
Remove the cheese from the oil onto a plate with a paper towel to absorb all the excess oil. Serve and enjoy!
