Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by blending the cut chicken until it reaches a smooth consistency. This will create a tender base for your skewers.
-
Make the Spice Mixture: In a separate bowl, finely grind the garlic, shallots, salt, sugar, and ground pepper. Once combined, add egg white and mix thoroughly to form a marinade.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended chicken, the spice mixture, tapioca flour, and all-purpose flour. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
-
Adjust Consistency: Gradually add warm water to the mixture until you achieve a smooth, moldable consistency that holds together well.
-
Stuff the Tofu: Carefully fill each piece of fried tofu with the chicken mixture, ensuring they are packed tightly.
-
Steam the Tofu: Place the stuffed tofu in a steamer and steam for about 30 minutes. This step helps to set the filling and enhances the flavors.
-
Cool and Cut: After steaming, allow the tofu to cool. Once cooled, cut each piece into bite-sized portions for easy handling.
-
Skewer the Tofu: Take each piece of cut tofu and thread it onto skewers, ensuring they are secure for grilling.
-
Coat with Marinade: Brush the skewered tofu with the remaining marinade to enhance flavor during grilling.
-
Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on a preheated grill. Cook until they are golden brown and slightly charred, turning occasionally for even cooking.
-
Serve: Once grilled to perfection, serve your Sate Tahu Baso Ayam with additional dipping sauce on the side for an ultimate flavor experience.
Enjoy this deliciously unique dish that combines the heartiness of chicken and the delicate texture of tofu, perfect for any occasion! 😊
