Tahu Aci Tegal: A Delightful Indonesian Snack

Tahu Aci Tegal, a beloved Indonesian delicacy, combines the rich flavors of fried tofu with a savory sago and flour mixture, resulting in a crispy exterior and a flavorful filling. Perfect for snacking or as an appetizer, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. Let’s dive into the ingredients and steps to create this delightful treat!

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Yellow tofu (tahu kuning) 10 pieces, cut into triangles
Sago flour 12 tablespoons
All-purpose flour 6 tablespoons
Garlic 3 cloves, minced
Coriander ½ teaspoon
Salt To taste
Seasoning (optional) To taste
Green onions To taste, finely sliced
Hot water As needed
Cooking oil For frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by carefully scooping out a small portion from the center of each triangle of yellow tofu. This will create a cavity for the filling. Set the scooped-out tofu aside.

  2. Make the Spice Mixture: In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, combine the minced garlic, coriander, salt, and optional seasoning. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.

  3. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out tofu, sago flour, all-purpose flour, and sliced green onions. Gradually add hot water, mixing until the texture becomes thick and moldable but not runny. This consistency is key for the filling to adhere properly to the tofu.

  4. Prepare to Fry: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. While waiting for the oil to heat up, generously coat the top surface of each tofu triangle with the prepared filling mixture. Ensure that the filling covers the tofu completely to prevent it from falling off during frying.

  5. Fry the Tofu: Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated tofu triangles into the pan. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. This process typically takes about 3-5 minutes per side, but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

  6. Serve: Once the Tahu Aci Tegal is perfectly golden, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with sambal kecap (sweet soy sauce with chilies) for an extra flavor boost.

Notes

  • To ensure the sago filling adheres well, make sure to cover the surface of the tofu entirely with the mixture.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces to find your perfect pairing!
