Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground spice paste with the chopped salmon, egg, salt, sugar, and flavor enhancer. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Finally, fold in the thinly sliced scallions until well incorporated.
-
Shape the Tofu: Carefully scoop out a small amount of tofu to create a cavity for the filling. Take a spoonful of the salmon mixture and fill the tofu gently. Be careful not to overfill, as the tofu can break easily.
-
Fry the Tahu Telor: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the filled tofu in the pan. Fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides, turning carefully to avoid breaking the tofu. Ensure the temperature is consistent to avoid burning.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the tofu from the oil and place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve the Tahu Telor hot, garnished with additional scallions or a side of dipping sauce if desired.
