Crispy Tofu Veggie Patties: Quick & Delicious Snack

Ingredients:

• 4 blocks of firm tofu
• 1 ounce cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 stalk of leek, finely chopped
• 1 leaf celery, finely chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 shallots, minced
• 1 packet of crispy noodle seasoning (optional)
• 50 grams rice flour
• 1 tablespoon chicken crispy seasoning mix
• 1/2 teaspoon chicken-flavored bouillon powder
• Salt, pepper, coriander, and sugar, to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Begin by mashing the tofu in a large mixing bowl until it reaches a crumbly texture.
   • Add the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped leek, and celery to the bowl. Mix these vegetables thoroughly with the tofu.

2. Season the Mixture:

   • Incorporate the minced garlic and shallots into the mixture.
   • If using, add the crispy noodle seasoning to the bowl. This step is optional but adds a delightful crunch and flavor.
   • Stir in the rice flour, chicken crispy seasoning mix, and chicken-flavored bouillon powder.
   • Season with salt, pepper, ground coriander, and sugar according to your taste preferences.
   • Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed.

3. Fry the Patties:

   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, shape the tofu mixture into small, round patties.
   • Fry the patties in the hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.

4. Serve:

   • Remove the patties from the pan and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve the Perkedel Tahu Sayur warm, accompanied by tomato sauce or spicy sauce for an extra kick.
