Crispy Tahu Cabe (Crispy Tofu with Chilies)
Ingredients:
- 250 grams of yellow tofu (tahu kuning), cut into small cubes
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 4 curly chilies (or bird’s eye chilies for extra heat)
- 2 stalks of green onions
- 1 stalk of celery
- 2 cloves of shallots
- 1 clove of garlic
- Salt, sugar, and seasoning to taste
- Oil for frying and sautéing
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu:
- Cut the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes. Dredge each piece in all-purpose flour, ensuring they are well-coated.
-
Fry the Tofu:
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the floured tofu cubes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Prepare the Aromatics:
- In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil. Sauté the sliced shallots and garlic until they become fragrant.
-
Add Chilies and Tofu:
- Slice the chilies and add them to the pan with the shallots and garlic. Stir-fry for a minute, then add the crispy tofu cubes. Toss gently to combine.
-
Incorporate Vegetables and Seasonings:
- Slice the green onions and celery, then add them to the pan. Stir everything together. Season with salt, sugar, and seasoning to taste, adding the seasonings gradually to avoid over-seasoning, as the tofu is already salty.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Once all ingredients are well-mixed and heated through, transfer to a serving dish.
-
