Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the firm tofu into small, even cubes. Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the tofu cubes and fry them until golden and crispy on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once fried, remove the tofu from the oil and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

-
Fry the Noodles: In the same oil, add the fried noodles. Fry them for just a minute or two until they are crispy, being careful not to burn them. Once done, remove the noodles and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the fried tofu and crispy noodles. Season with salt, Bon Cabe seasoning, and finely chopped bird’s eye chili. Mix everything well to ensure the tofu and noodles are evenly coated with the spices.
-
Plating: Prepare a serving plate by transferring the mixed tofu and noodle combination onto it. Top with the chopped celery for a refreshing crunch and vibrant color.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Tahu & Mie Crispy is now ready to be served! This dish can be enjoyed warm as a snack or a side dish, offering a wonderful contrast of textures and flavors.
