Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a clean mixing bowl, combine the crushed tofu, soaked corn vermicelli, eggs, grated carrot, sliced green onions, and celery. Add the fried shallots, salt, mushroom seasoning, and ground black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
-
-
Mold the Mixture: Take a traditional putu ayu or kue talam mold and fill it with the tofu mixture, packing it down firmly to ensure it holds its shape.
-
Steam the Mixture: Place the filled molds into a preheated steamer and steam for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
-
Cool the Mixture: Once steamed, carefully remove the molded tofu and allow it to cool down completely. This step helps the tofu set and makes it easier to handle.
-
Fry the Tahu Fantasy: In a pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Fry the tofu molds until they turn golden brown and crispy, ensuring to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
-
Drain and Serve: Once golden, remove the Tahu Fantasy from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve them hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or as is for a delicious snack.
