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!
