Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tahu cina 3 pcs
Tepung Sajiku Serbaguna 1 packet
Cabai merah 10 pcs
Bawang putih (cacah halus) 3 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by rinsing the tahu cina under cold water, then cut it into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Coat the Tofu: In a bowl, generously coat each piece of tofu with Tepung Sajiku, allowing the flour to adhere without adding water, as the tofu’s moisture will suffice for binding.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat, adding a pinch of salt to the oil. This step will enhance the flavor of the tofu while frying.
  4. Sauté the Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the minced bawang putih and sauté until golden brown, releasing a fragrant aroma that will infuse the dish.
  5. Add the Peppers and Tofu: Toss in the sliced cabai merah followed by the floured tofu. Stir-fry the mixture until everything is well combined and the tofu is golden and crispy.
  6. Serve: Your Tahu Cabe Garam is now ready to be served! Enjoy this savory dish hot as a delightful appetizer or side.

This recipe captures the ultimate essence of Indonesian cuisine, combining crispy tofu with the vibrant heat of chilies and the fragrant notes of garlic. Enjoy!
