Prepare the tofu
Begin by thoroughly washing the white tofu. Once clean, crush the tofu using a mortar or a food processor until smooth. After mashing, wrap the tofu in a clean cloth and squeeze out the excess water. This step is essential to achieve the perfect texture for the tofu balls. -
Create the spice blend
In a mortar or a food processor, finely crush the garlic cloves and pepper until they form a smooth paste. This mixture will serve as the primary seasoning for your tofu. -
Mix the tofu and spices
Transfer the mashed tofu into a large bowl. Add the garlic-pepper mixture, then sprinkle in salt and granulated sugar. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed and the tofu mixture becomes smooth. -
Shape the tofu balls
Take small portions of the tofu mixture and roll them into round balls, approximately the size of a ping-pong ball. Ensure each ball is packed firmly so they hold their shape during frying. -
Fry the tofu balls
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tofu balls into the oil. Fry them until they turn a golden brown color, which should take a few minutes. Ensure the balls are evenly cooked by turning them occasionally. -
Serve
Once the tofu balls have reached the desired golden brown shade, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy these deliciously crispy fried tofu balls!
