Crispy Tahu Bulat (Indonesian Fried Tofu Balls)
Ingredients:
- 5 medium-sized tofu blocks
- 2 cloves garlic
- Flavor enhancer (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu: Begin by washing the tofu thoroughly. If you’ve purchased fresh tofu in the morning and stored it in the refrigerator, you might find that excess water has naturally drained from it. There’s no need to press the tofu further; simply use it as is.
-
Mash and Mix: Carefully mash the tofu until smooth. Combine the mashed tofu with finely minced garlic, flavor enhancer, and baking powder. Ensure the mixture is well blended.
-
Shape and Fry: Form the tofu mixture into small, round balls. Heat oil in a frying pan until it is hot and ready for frying. Gently place the tofu balls into the hot oil, frying them until they achieve a crispy golden-brown exterior.
-
Serve and Enjoy: The result will be crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside, reminiscent of soft tofu. Enjoy these delectable tofu balls as a savory snack or appetizer!
