Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: Begin by mashing the tofu in a mixing bowl. Add the ground pepper, salt, the seasoning from the instant noodles, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
-
Prepare the Noodles: Cook the instant noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Shape the Tofu: Take a portion of the tofu mixture and shape it into a ball. Insert a piece of sausage into the center of each tofu ball. Roll each ball in the prepared noodles, coating them thoroughly.
-
Chill Before Frying: Place the coated tofu balls on a plate and refrigerate for about 1 hour. This chilling step helps them hold their shape better during frying.
-
Fry the Tofu Balls: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the tofu balls to the oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the tofu rambutan from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
