Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Firm tofu 350g
- Egg 1
- Potato starch 3 tbsp
Seasonings
- Chicken stock granules 2 tsp
- Black pepper to taste
- Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
Steps
- Place 350g firm tofu in a bowl and firmly press with your hands to squeeze out all the moisture. 【Tip!】 Don't break it up finely; just press to remove water. Too much moisture will prevent it from solidifying and make it mushy.
- To the drained tofu, add 1 egg, 2 tsp chicken stock granules, black pepper to taste, 3 tbsp potato starch, and 1 tbsp mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly. 【Tip!】 Using a whisk makes it easier to break up and mix. Chicken stock granules are key for a meaty flavor.
- Pour enough oil (approx. 2-3 tbsp) into a frying pan to cover the bottom, and heat over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan to form nugget shapes. Pan-fry until nicely browned. 【Tip!】 Since the tofu's moisture is thoroughly removed, it won't absorb excess oil, resulting in a light texture.
- Once both sides are beautifully browned, remove from the pan and serve on a plate.
