Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Carefully scrape the inside of the fried tofu to create a pocket, flipping it so that the yellow skin is now on the inside and the white skin is on the outside.
-
Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed soft tofu, tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, minced garlic, chopped green onions, chopped celery, and the scraped tofu filling. Add water gradually until the mixture reaches a paste-like consistency. Season with sugar, salt, and ground black pepper.
-
Stuff the Tofu: Gently fill each piece of prepared tofu with the mixture, ensuring it is packed well.
-
Fry the Tofu: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the stuffed tofu into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Serve: Once fried, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
