Tahu Isi -Tempura Stuffed Tofu-

It's been a while I don't eat this kind of tofu. I always make Tahu Berontak or tofu that's mixed with veggies and the batter is also mixed in and then fried it. It's simpler compare to this one.

Making Tahu Isi needs to prepare the filling, fried the tofu first to make it firmer when they're filled and then fried again with the batter. It Tastes better tho in my opinion.

I used firm tofu that was sliced 2" by 2" and marinated in turmeric, salt and coriander for about 10min, fried it till golden brown. Cool it down and then make cleft in two sides for putting the filling.

Prepare the filling by grinding the shallots, garlic, add lil salt, into pure. saute it and add the veggies that were chopped, carrots and bean sprouts. I added chopped shrimps and green chili. Cooked for about 15min.

Prepare the batter. All purpose flour, rice flour, seasoned with lil turmeric, pepper, salt, coriander. Mixed in water. just lil. The batter is not too thick but not too thin.

When everything is ready, Take the fried tofu that's been making cleft on sides, stuffing it with the filler, carefully dipped in batter, make sure all surface is dipped. Then fried in deep frying till golden brown.
Served with fresh green chili or sriracha sauce.
