Crispy Tofu with Spicy Chilies and Fresh Veggies

Crispy Tahu Cabe (Crispy Tofu with Chilies)

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of yellow tofu (tahu kuning), cut into small cubes
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 4 curly chilies (or bird’s eye chilies for extra heat)
• 2 stalks of green onions
• 1 stalk of celery
• 2 cloves of shallots
• 1 clove of garlic
• Salt, sugar, and seasoning to taste
• Oil for frying and sautéing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:

   • Cut the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes. Dredge each piece in all-purpose flour, ensuring they are well-coated.

2. Fry the Tofu:

   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the floured tofu cubes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

3. Prepare the Aromatics:

   • In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil. Sauté the sliced shallots and garlic until they become fragrant.

4. Add Chilies and Tofu:

   • Slice the chilies and add them to the pan with the shallots and garlic. Stir-fry for a minute, then add the crispy tofu cubes. Toss gently to combine.

5. Incorporate Vegetables and Seasonings:

   • Slice the green onions and celery, then add them to the pan. Stir everything together. Season with salt, sugar, and seasoning to taste, adding the seasonings gradually to avoid over-seasoning, as the tofu is already salty.

6. Finish and Serve:

   • Once all ingredients are well-mixed and heated through, transfer to a serving dish.

7. Enjoy:

   • Your Crispy Tahu Cabe is now ready to be enjoyed as a delightful snack or appetizer. Serve warm and savor the crispy texture and spicy kick!

This recipe brings together the crispy texture of tofu with a vibrant blend of spices and fresh vegetables, creating a delicious and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion.
