Ingredients

  • 4 blocks of firm tofu
  • 1 can of corned beef
  • 2 stalks of green onions, finely chopped
  • All-purpose flour, as needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 package of instant noodles, crushed
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 shallots, minced
  • Cooking oil, for frying
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by mashing the tofu with a fork until it’s broken down into a coarse, crumbly texture.

  2. Mix in Ingredients: Incorporate the canned corned beef, minced garlic and shallots, chopped green onions, salt, and ground black pepper into the mashed tofu. Mix thoroughly, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.

  3. Form the Mixture: Gradually add all-purpose flour to the mixture until it reaches a consistency that allows you to shape it into balls.

  4. Coat the Balls: Dip each tofu ball into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then roll it in the crushed instant noodles to give it a crispy exterior.

  5. Fry the Balls: Heat oil in a frying pan over low heat. Fry the coated tofu balls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the balls from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite spicy sauce for dipping.
