Instructions
-
Prepare the Tofu Mixture: Begin by mashing the firm tofu in a mixing bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, bouillon powder, and the beaten egg. Mix thoroughly and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
-
Chop the Add-ins: While the tofu mixture rests, finely chop the meatballs into quarters. Dice the carrot into small cubes, and slice the green onions and cabbage thinly.
-
Combine Ingredients: Fold the chopped meatballs, carrot, green onions, and cabbage into the tofu mixture. Once combined, gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour until the mixture holds together.
-
Shape the Balls: Take portions of the mixture and flatten them in your palm. Place a piece of meatball in the center, then reshape the mixture into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.
-
Fry the Meatballs: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to low heat. Carefully add the formed balls to the hot oil, frying them until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Serve: Once fried, drain excess oil on paper towels and serve warm, perhaps with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Enjoy your delicious Bola-Bola Bakso Tahu, a perfect snack or side dish that will impress your family and friends!
