Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pressed tofu, egg yolk, baking powder, minced garlic, minced shallots, pepper, and salt.
  2. Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly until a smooth dough forms, ensuring that all components are well incorporated.
  3. Shape the Tofu Balls: Using your hands, portion the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should yield approximately 18 pieces.
