Prepare the Tofu:
Begin by thoroughly washing the tofu. Boil it in water until it is cooked through, then drain and allow it to cool. Once cooled, crumble the tofu using a fork until it reaches a fine consistency. -
Prepare Vegetables:
Dice the carrot into small cubes, finely chop the celery, and grate the garlic. Combine these ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the crumbled tofu. -
Mix the Ingredients:
Add the egg and all-purpose flour to the tofu mixture. Season with salt, ground black pepper, and a touch of mushroom seasoning. Mix everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. -
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. Chilling the mixture will make it easier to shape into balls. -
Shape and Fry:
Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Take small portions and shape them into balls. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then carefully add the tofu balls to the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. -
Serve:
Serve the tofu balls warm. They make an excellent addition to any meal as a side dish or a satisfying snack.
