   • Slice each piece of tofu diagonally to create triangular shapes.
   • Gently scoop out the tofu filling, then invert the tofu pieces to form a hollow shell.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Using a mortar and pestle or food processor, finely grind the tofu filling to achieve a smooth texture. This step is crucial to avoid a coarse filling.

3. Mix the Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, finely chopped green onions, and parsley with the ground tofu filling.
   • Add the seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
   • Beat the egg and incorporate it into the mixture. Gradually add a little water while stirring to achieve a consistency that is neither too thick nor too runny. The mixture should be slightly thick but manageable.

4. Stuff the Tofu:

   • Carefully spoon the prepared filling into the hollowed tofu shells, pressing gently to pack the mixture inside.

5. Fry the Tofu:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Ensure there is enough oil for the tofu to be partially submerged.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the stuffed tofu pieces into the pan. Fry until the tofu is golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
   • Reduce the heat slightly if the tofu starts to brown too quickly, allowing the filling to cook through thoroughly.

6. Serve:

   • Tahu Walik Isi Aci is best enjoyed hot and crispy. Serve with fresh green chilies or a spicy sambal sauce for an extra kick.

This Indonesian favorite is sure to impress with its crunchy exterior and flavorful filling. Enjoy the delicious fusion of textures and tastes in every bite!
