Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly slice the cabbage and carrots lengthwise to ensure even cooking and a delightful texture.
-
Make the Filling: In a food processor, combine shallots, garlic, pepper, salt, seasoning powder, and nutmeg, blending until smooth. Sauté the mixture in a pan until fragrant and golden, then add a splash of water. Stir in the sliced vegetables and cook briefly, testing for flavor before removing from heat. Allow to cool.
-
-
Prepare the Tofu: Carefully cut a slit in one side of each tofu block to create a pocket for the filling.
-
Stuff the Tofu: Gently spoon the cooled vegetable mixture into each tofu pocket, filling them generously.
-
Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, water, chives, and additional seasoning powder. Aim for a slightly thick consistency to help the batter adhere to the tofu during frying.
-
Fry the Tofu: Dip each stuffed tofu in the batter, ensuring even coverage. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu until golden and crisp, turning occasionally for even cooking.
-
Serve: Plate the crispy stuffed tofu while still warm. Pair it with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra flavor boost. Enjoy! 😊
This delightful dish blends the ultimate flavors of fresh vegetables with the heartiness of tofu, making it a perfect addition to any meal or a satisfying snack.
