Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: Start by mashing the firm tofu in a large mixing bowl until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add the grated carrot, finely chopped green onion, finely chopped red onion, garlic powder, salt, and one beaten egg to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
-
Steam the Mixture: Transfer the tofu mixture into a steamer-safe dish and steam it for 20 minutes. This step helps to firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape into nuggets. Once done, remove from the steamer and let it cool slightly before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
-
Coat the Nuggets: Prepare two shallow dishes: one with the remaining beaten eggs and the other with breadcrumbs. Take each piece of the tofu mixture and dip it first into the egg, ensuring it is well coated. Next, roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the surface. Repeat this step for all the pieces.
-
Fry the Nuggets: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated tofu nuggets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the tofu nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot as a snack or alongside your favorite dipping sauces. These nuggets are perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or as a fun party appetizer!
