Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu
- 1 medium carrot, finely diced
- 1/2 packet of chicken bouillon (Masako)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu: Begin by placing the tofu in a bowl and mashing it with a fork until it becomes a smooth, crumbly texture. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.
-
Mix Ingredients: Add the finely diced carrot to the mashed tofu. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and chicken bouillon (Masako) for a rich, savory flavor. Pour in the beaten egg and sprinkle the flour over the top.
-
Combine: Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it seems too wet, add a little more flour.
-
Shape and Fry: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to form small patties.
-
Cook: Fry the patties in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the patties from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm as a tasty snack or side dish.
Enjoy these crispy, flavorful Perkedel Tahu and Carrot as a delightful treat for any occasion!
