Discover the delightful fusion of traditional flavors with this Rolade Tahu Daun Singkong, a recipe that brings together tender tofu and savory cassava leaves into a unique and tasty treat. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, this dish offers a satisfying crunch with a deliciously seasoned filling. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 packs of white tofu (about 20 medium pieces)
• 250 grams of pre-cooked cassava leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder (or 3 cloves garlic, minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Royco seasoning (or any all-purpose seasoning)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
• Chopped green onions (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by mashing the white tofu until it is completely smooth and free of lumps. You can use your hands to break it down, ensuring it’s well-crushed.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed tofu with the finely chopped pre-cooked cassava leaves. Mix thoroughly.

3. Add Seasonings: Incorporate the egg, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder (or minced garlic), Royco seasoning, and tapioca flour into the tofu mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

4. Incorporate Green Onions: If you like, fold in the chopped green onions for an added burst of flavor.

5. Steam the Rolade: Transfer the mixture into a steam-proof mold or dish. Steam over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture is set and firm.

6. Cool and Fry: Once steamed, remove the rolade from the mold and let it cool. After cooling, you can either fry the rolade in hot oil until golden brown, ensuring there is enough oil to prevent the rolade from breaking apart, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

7. Serving Suggestion: Serve the rolade hot, either straight from the fryer or reheated, and enjoy as a delightful snack or side dish.
