Crispy Stuffed Tofu with Spicy Sweet Soy Sauce

Tahu Aci

Ingredients

• 10 pieces of yellow tofu
• 5 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 stalk green onion, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• Salt & bouillon powder to taste
• Water as needed

Sambal (Spicy Sweet Soy Sauce)

• Sweet soy sauce
• Bird’s eye chilies, coarsely ground or finely sliced, mixed with the sweet soy sauce

Steps

1. Prepare the Tofu: Cut the yellow tofu into triangular pieces. Soak them in salted water for about 5-7 minutes, then drain the water.
2. Scoop and Mash: Scoop out the insides of the tofu using a spoon. Set the scooped tofu aside and mash it until smooth.
3. Boil Water: Boil water with the minced garlic until it’s infused with the garlic flavor.
4. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, mix the tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, bouillon powder, green onions, and the mashed tofu.
5. Add Hot Water: Gradually pour the hot garlic-infused water into the mixture while stirring continuously until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
6. Stuff the Tofu: Fill the hollowed tofu pieces with the tapioca mixture.
7. Fry the Tofu: Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the stuffed tofu until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve: Remove the tofu from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Your Tahu Aci is now ready to be served!
9. Prepare the Sambal: Mix sweet soy sauce with the coarsely ground or finely sliced bird’s eye chilies.
