Tahu Goreng Telur Simple: A Delightful Indonesian Fried Tofu Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu (cut into slices, not too thin)
- 1 egg
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Olive oil or canola oil (for frying)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu: Begin by rinsing the tofu under running water to clean it. Pat the tofu slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season the tofu with a pinch of salt, ensuring all surfaces are lightly coated.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, crack the egg and beat it until well combined. Season the beaten egg with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
-
Coat the Tofu: Dip each tofu slice into the seasoned egg mixture, allowing the tofu to soak up the egg. Ensure the tofu is fully coated with the egg mixture for a delicious, crispy result.
-
Heat the Oil: Heat a small amount of olive or canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, similar to how you would prepare an omelet.
-
Fry the Tofu: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the egg-coated tofu slices into the pan. Fry the tofu over medium heat, turning occasionally, until each side is golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain and Serve: Once the tofu is cooked to your desired crispiness, remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve warm as a tasty snack or side dish.
Enjoy this simple yet flavorful Tahu Goreng Telur, a delightful Indonesian tofu dish that’s perfect for any occasion!
