Instructions

Prepare the Filling:
Begin by finely grinding the garlic, red shallots, and bird’s eye chili to create a fragrant paste. Heat a splash of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat and sautรฉ the mixture until it releases its aroma. -
Cook the Beef:
Add the sliced beef meatballs to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until cooked through. Then, crack in the eggs, scrambling them gently. Next, add the cooked egg noodles, mixing everything thoroughly. -
Season the Mixture:
Sprinkle in the salt and mushroom broth seasoning, ensuring that all ingredients are well combined. Stir-fry for an additional minute until everything is evenly seasoned and the filling is complete. Set aside to cool slightly. -
Stuff the Tofu:
Carefully cut open each piece of brown tofu, making a pocket for the filling. Stuff each tofu piece generously with the beef and egg noodle mixture, ensuring it is filled to the brim. -
Coat the Tofu:
In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch with a little water to form a slurry. Roll each stuffed tofu in the slurry and then coat it with the crispy batter flour, ensuring a nice, even layer. -
Fry the Tofu:
In a deep pan or skillet, heat enough cooking oil to submerge the tofu. Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated tofu into the pan, frying until golden brown and crispy on all sides, which should take about 3-5 minutes. -
Drain and Serve:
Once the tofu is perfectly crispy, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness of Tahu Isi Kriuk MTB! ๐
