Crispy Indonesian Tahu Unyil: Bite-Sized Fried Tofu Delights

Tahu Unyil: Indonesian Fried Tofu Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of yellow or white tofu
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or seasoned flour if preferred)
• Salt, to taste
• Seasoning powder, to taste
• Chili powder or Boncabe (optional, for extra spice)
• Oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:

   • Begin by cutting the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes. This will ensure that each piece gets a crispy coating when fried.

2. Season the Flour:

   • In a separate bowl or plate, combine the all-purpose flour with salt and seasoning powder. If you enjoy a bit more flavor, you can use seasoned flour or add extra seasoning to your taste.

3. Coat the Tofu:

   • Place the tofu cubes into the flour mixture. Toss or gently shake the tofu to coat it evenly with the flour mixture. Ensure that each piece is well-coated for the best texture.

4. Shake Off Excess Flour:

   • After coating, sift or shake off any excess flour from the tofu cubes. This step helps in achieving a crispier texture once fried.

5. Fry the Tofu:

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu cubes. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, which should take a few minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

6. Drain and Serve:

   • Remove the tofu from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. If desired, sprinkle additional seasoning powder over the top while the tofu is still warm.

7. Optional Spicing:

   • For an extra kick, you can also sprinkle Boncabe or your favorite chili powder on top for added spiciness.

Serving Suggestion:

• Serve the crispy Tahu Unyil as a delightful snack or appetizer. It pairs wonderfully with warm steamed rice and makes a flavorful addition to any meal.

Enjoy the savory crunch of Tahu Unyil, a perfect blend of crispy, savory, and spicy flavors that will tantalize your taste buds!
