6. Fry the Stuffed Tofu:

   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   • Dip each steamed tofu piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
   • Fry the tofu pieces in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Remove the tofu from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve the Tahu Bakso Ayam hot, as a delightful snack or a savory side dish.

Tips:

• If you prefer a chewier texture, increase the amount of tapioca flour in the mixture.
• This recipe uses fried tofu for convenience, but you can also use fresh tofu. If using fresh tofu, be sure to fry it first before stuffing.
