Incorporate Aromatics: Add the minced shallots, minced garlic, white pepper, and salt to the mashed tofu. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add Fresh Herbs and Egg: Next, incorporate the finely sliced green onions and celery leaves into the tofu mixture. Crack in the egg and mix again until all components are thoroughly combined.
-
Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture. Stir until the flour is fully integrated, and the mixture is well-blended. The consistency should be moist but manageable.
-
Shape the Patties: Once the mixture is ready, take small portions and shape them into patties or fritters according to your preference.
-
Fry the Patties: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the shaped tofu patties into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the patties from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve the crispy Tahu Pergedel warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a larger meal.
