Instructions
- Begin by cutting the tofu into triangular pieces, then fry them in hot oil until they are crisp and golden brown. This step helps achieve the perfect texture.
- Once fried, soak the tofu in a mixture of ground pepper and salt, allowing it to absorb the flavors for a few minutes.
- Carefully slice the fried tofu open, making sure not to cut all the way through, and flip them over to create a pocket for the filling.
- For the filling, combine all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, finely chopped shallots and garlic, ground pepper, salt, and optional chicken stock powder in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually add hot water, mixing until the dough is smooth and pliable.
- Fill each tofu pocket with the prepared mixture, ensuring they are generously stuffed.
- Finally, return the stuffed tofu to the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy on the outside.
- Serve hot with chili sauce or sambal for an extra kick.
