Ingredients
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Firm white tofu | 4 pieces (fried until half-cooked) |
All-purpose flour | 6 tablespoons |
Rice flour | 3 tablespoons |
Salt | To taste |
Ground coriander | To taste |
Garlic | 1 clove |
Flavor enhancer (optional) | To taste |
Green onions (chopped) | To taste |
Water | As needed |
Instructions
-
Prepare the Tofu: Start by slicing each piece of firm white tofu into two halves. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the tofu until it’s halfway cooked, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Make the Coating Mixture: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, combine the salt, ground coriander, garlic, and flavor enhancer (if using). Grind them together until they form a smooth paste.
-
Combine the Flours: To the paste, add the all-purpose flour and rice flour. Gradually incorporate enough water to create a batter thatโs thick but not too runny; it should be easy to coat the tofu without dripping excessively.
-
Coat the Tofu: Take the cooled, partially fried tofu pieces and generously coat them with the batter you just prepared, ensuring they are fully covered.
-
Fry the Tofu: Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated tofu pieces in the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping occasionally for even cooking.
-
Serve: Once the tofu is beautifully browned, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sambal kecap (soy sauce mixed with chili) or fresh rawit chili for an added zing.
