2. Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the mashed tofu along with the eggs, Sajiku seasoning flour, Royco seasoning powder, ground black pepper, salt, and finely chopped celery leaves. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring that the mixture is homogeneous.

3. Steaming: Transfer the tofu mixture into a greased baking dish or steaming tray, smoothing out the surface with a spatula. Set up your steamer and steam the tofu mixture for approximately one hour, or until it is firm and cooked through. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

4. Cooling and Cutting: Once cooked, carefully remove the baking dish from the steamer and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces.

5. Prepare the Dipping Batter: In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs for the dipping batter until well combined. Set up a station with the breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt in another plate.

6. Coating and Frying: Dip each tofu piece first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Heat enough cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and once hot, add the coated tofu pieces. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side.

7. Drain and Serve: Once fried to perfection, remove the tofu from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy it plain, garnished with extra chopped celery leaves for a fresh touch.
