Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Carefully slice each fried tofu in half, removing the insides to create a pocket for stuffing.
- Cook the Filling: Thinly slice the cabbage and oyster mushrooms. In a pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the sliced cabbage, oyster mushrooms, bean sprouts, salt, and ground pepper. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender and well combined. Finally, mix in the chopped green onion and set aside.
- Stuff the Tofu: Spoon the vegetable mixture into each tofu pocket, ensuring they are filled generously.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and mixed seasoning flour. Gradually add water until a smooth batter forms.
- Fry the Tofu: Dip each stuffed tofu piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
