   • Using a mortar and pestle or a blender, grind together the red chilies, shallots, and garlic until you have a smooth paste.
   • Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chili paste until fragrant and fully cooked.
   • Add in the grated carrots and chopped sausages. Stir-fry for a few minutes, adding a splash of water to prevent sticking.
   • Season with ground pepper, sugar, and salt to taste. Cook until the carrots are tender and the sausages are fully cooked.
   • Let the filling cool down to room temperature.

3. Stuffing the Tofu:

   • Make a slit in each fried tofu piece, creating a pocket for the filling.
   • Stuff each tofu piece with the cooled vegetable and sausage filling.

4. Coating the Stuffed Tofu:

   • In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with enough water to create a thick, smooth batter.
   • Dip each stuffed tofu piece into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
   • Roll the coated tofu in bread crumbs until fully covered. Arrange the tofu on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help the coating set.

5. Frying the Stuffed Tofu:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the coated stuffed tofu until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side.
   • Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

6. Serving:

   • Serve the Spicy Stuffed Tofu hot and enjoy it with your favorite dipping sauce or as a standalone snack.
