Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Large tofu (or 5 small) 2 pieces
Tapioca flour 100 grams
Egg 1 piece
Pepper 2 teaspoons
Salt To taste
Sugar To taste
Water 500 cc
Chili sauce 3 tablespoons
Tomato sauce 1 tablespoon
Spice Mix:
Garlic 2 cloves
Shallots 4 pieces
Green onion 1 stalk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mix: Start by finely grinding the garlic, shallots, and green onion to create a fragrant spice blend. Divide this mix into two portions.

  2. Prepare the Tofu Mixture: In a bowl, crumble the tofu and combine it with one portion of the spice mix and the egg. Mix well until evenly incorporated.

  3. Add Tapioca Flour: Gradually incorporate the tapioca flour into the tofu mixture, stirring until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, similar to meatball batter.

  4. Cook the Tofu Balls: Bring the water to a boil in a pot. Shape the tofu mixture into balls using a spoon or your hands, and gently drop them into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

  5. Fry for Crispiness: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the cooked tofu balls until golden brown and crispy, resembling Tahu Sumedang.

  6. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate pan, sauté the remaining portion of the spice mix. Add a splash of water along with the sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chili and tomato sauces, adjusting seasoning to your taste.

  7. Serve: Arrange the crispy Tahu Aci on a serving plate and drizzle the prepared sauce over them. Enjoy your Tahu Aci while it’s hot and crispy!
