Fried tofu snacks are a staple in my house. My husband loves tofu, no matter how it's prepared, but he especially loves it fried. It's a must-have snack for him. Sometimes he even enjoys these fried snacks with vegetables or soup.
This time, I’m going to make a snack that he really loves: crispy tofu, which my husband often buys from street vendors. Whenever we go out just to relax, he always buys this tofu. Since I was curious, I had to make it at home.
Street Food Recipe Crispy Tofu
Street vendor crispy tofu is very popular in our area, and probably in many areas in Indonesia. Besides being delicious, this snack is also very cheap and delicious to enjoy when it's hot, especially during the rainy season. This crispy fried tofu is a favorite, especially when enjoyed with green chili peppers, which give each bite an extraordinary flavor.
Crispy tofu is made by cutting tofu into small pieces, soaking them briefly in batter, and then frying them until crispy. The most distinctive part is the batter that is soaked and sprinkled with oil during frying. The frying process is done in stages, resulting in a delicious crispy coating.
Ingredients
100 grams of wheat flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
100 ml of water
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
½ teaspoon of mushroom broth
½ teaspoon of salt
Procedure
Cut the tofu into small cubes according to your preference. In my opinion, smaller cubes taste better.
Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, and mushroom bouillon until well combined, then add water and stir until smooth.
Soak the cubed tofu in the mixture for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, drain the tofu.
Fry it in hot oil Once the tofu has hardened a bit, sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over it. Repeat this process several times, making sure the batter isn't too runny. Fry until golden brown and crispy.
Result
Serve hot on a serving plate and sprinkle with chili peppers. Take a look at this crispy street food-style tofu recipe—it's done, even though the result isn't perfect, but the taste is just right.
It tastes really good, just as good as the crispy tofu sold on the street, although the crispy coating on the outside is not as thick as the ones sold on the street, but at least it's still crispy. I really like this snack dipped in chili sauce, it's very tasty. My husband smiled happily when his favorite snack was ready, and he enjoyed it in just a flash.
