I got a bit sick of eating plain deep fried firm tofu so decided to make them into balls. A pretty easy snack and it's best eaten hot. Hubby finished the whole plate of it while I only get to eat like 3 of them 8-(
You can also use breadcrumbs for a crispy texture.
Ingredients
2 firm tofu, drained and mashed
1-2 stalks spring onion, chopped
salt & pepper to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
enough cornflour for coating
oil for frying
Method
1. Mix all the ingredients except egg and cornflour
2. Shape into balls and coat it with egg followed by cornflour
3. Deep fry till golden brown
4. Serve with sauce of your choice
Such an easy yet yummy dish. Thanx a lot for sharing.

ReplyDeletethis is really good! I tried ur recipe last night, with some fish paste added in to make fish toufu, wonderful! do check out my blog for this post :)
ReplyDeletehi, new to cookery. how do u managed to coat it with the cornflour? when i tried to coat it after coating with the egg, it couldn't "stay" as a ball.
ReplyDeletehi,tried it out,bit they juz dun seems to stick together.Help!
ReplyDeleteanonymous, you have to use your palm to shape it but dont press to hard. try fine mashed the tofu first.
ReplyDeletehi dear, i actually have this problem too. tofu jus cant stay as a ball. so i actually mix the egg together instead of coat them with egg and tht made my hand and evething v messy. aahha ...
ReplyDeleteI like to make fried tofu ball as well. I used to mix tofu along with minced pork and corns, very yummy dish
