Ingredients
- 500 ml egg whites
- 50 ml thick coconut milk
- Salted broth powder, to taste
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1 stalk green onion, sliced
- 1 whole egg
- 1 sachet plain agar-agar

Instructions
-
Prepare the Tofu Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, thick coconut milk, and salted broth powder. Stir until well mixed. Pour the mixture into a heatproof dish and steam until fully cooked. Once done, let it cool slightly and then cut it into small, tofu-sized cubes. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the grated carrot, sliced green onion, and half of the plain agar-agar sachet. Season with additional salted broth powder to taste and add a small amount of water. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
-
Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, dissolve the remaining half sachet of agar-agar in a little water. Beat in the whole egg until well combined.
-
Stuff the Tofu: Carefully slice the center of each tofu cube to create a pocket. Fill each pocket with the prepared vegetable filling.
-
Coat the Tofu: Dip each stuffed tofu cube into the egg and agar-agar mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
-
Fry the Tofu: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated tofu cubes until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the tofu from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
