| Ground pepper | 1 tsp |
| Salt | 3 tbsp |
| All-purpose flour | As needed |
| Water | As needed |
| Cooking oil | For frying |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu: Begin by mashing the tofu until smooth and set aside.
-
Prepare the Aromatics: In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the shallots, garlic, and bird’s eye chili (if using) to create a fragrant paste.
-
Sauté the Mixture: Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the ground aromatic mixture. Sauté until fragrant and golden.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed tofu to the pan and stir-fry for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Once done, remove from heat.
-
Mix in the Egg and Seasonings: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed tofu mixture with the egg, chopped green onions, salt, chicken bouillon powder, and ground pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
-
Assemble the Martabak: Take a spring roll wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the tofu mixture in the center.
-
Seal the Wrapper: In a small bowl, mix flour with water to create a paste for sealing. Use this paste to secure the edges of the wrapper, folding it neatly to encase the filling.
-
Repeat the Process: Continue filling and sealing the remaining wrappers until all the filling is used.
-
Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a frying pan. Once hot, carefully add the wrapped martabak and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
