Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing the vegetables. Boil each vegetable separately until tender but still vibrant. Once cooked, transfer them to a separate dish. For an added touch, sprinkle salt in the boiling water when cooking kangkung and long beans to enhance their freshness and color.
-
-
Make the Bakwan Adonan (Fritter Batter): In a mortar, grind together the black pepper, coriander, garlic, and shallots to form a fine paste. Slice all the remaining ingredients for the fritters, including the bean sprouts, green onions, carrot, and cabbage. Mix these into the ground paste and gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour until the batter reaches a consistency that is neither too thick nor too thin. Season with salt and set aside.
-
Prepare the Tahu Isi (Stuffed Tofu): Slice the firm tofu to create pockets for stuffing. Soak the tofu in salted water to enhance flavor. In a separate bowl, mix the sliced garlic, shallots, and chilies. Once the stuffing is ready, fill each tofu pocket generously, ensuring that the filling is packed tightly.
-
Prepare the Tahu Batter: In a bowl, combine the remaining garlic, coriander, turmeric, and all-purpose flour. Add a pinch of salt to taste and mix until a smooth batter forms.
-
Fry the Bakwan: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the bakwan batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to create a thin, crispy fritter. Fry until golden brown and crispy, flipping as needed. Once done, remove and drain on paper towels.
-
Fry the Stuffed Tofu: Dip each stuffed tofu in the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, ensuring they are cooked through. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
-
Serve: For the finishing touch, you can serve this dish with a side of peanut sauce or sambal for dipping. For the peanut sauce, feel free to use a store-bought option for convenience.
