   • Begin by washing the tofu and celery thoroughly to ensure they are clean and free from any impurities.

2. Mixing the Tofu Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, crumble the firm tofu and add the all-purpose flour along with the seasoning from the Indomie noodles (set aside the oil, kecap, and sauces for later).
   • Stir in the finely chopped celery to infuse the mixture with freshness.
   • Season with salt and Royco until the mixture tastes just right, and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

3. Egg Preparation:

   • In a separate bowl, beat the chicken eggs until well combined, setting them aside for later use.

4. Noodle Preparation:

   • In another bowl, crush the Indomie fried noodles until they resemble coarse crumbs.

5. Shaping the Tahu Kribo:

   • Take a spoonful of the tofu mixture and flatten it in your hand.
   • Place a boiled quail egg in the center (you can either use one whole egg or halve it for smaller bites).
   • Carefully fold the tofu mixture around the egg and roll it into a ball shape.

6. Coating the Balls:

   • Dip each tofu ball into the beaten chicken eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
   • Then, roll the balls in the crushed fried noodles until they are completely covered.

7. Frying:

   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, gently add the tofu balls, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure they are fully submerged in the oil for even cooking.

8. Serving:

   • Once cooked, remove the Tahu Kribo from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
   • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or kecap manis for an added touch of sweetness.
