Ingredients:

• Salt, to taste
• Cooking oil, for frying

For the Batter:

• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams rice flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Water (add gradually until the batter is just thick enough, not too runny)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:

   • Slice the tofu into thin strips.
   • Season the tofu slices with salt.
   • Heat cooking oil in a pan and fry the tofu slices until they are crispy and golden brown.
   • Once fried, cut the tofu slices into sticks.

2. Make the Batter:

   • In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, minced garlic, and ground black pepper.
   • Gradually add water, stirring constantly, until you achieve a smooth batter that is thick enough to coat the tofu but not too runny.

3. Fry the Tofu Sticks:

   • Heat a sufficient amount of cooking oil in a pan.
   • Dip the fried tofu sticks into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
   • Fry the battered tofu sticks in the hot oil until they become golden and crispy.

4. Serve:

   • Once crispy, remove the tofu sticks from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve the crunchy tahu sticks as a delightful snack or as a side dish.
