After all the mixture is mixed evenly, then dissolve it with water. The water quantity can be adjusted to 260 to 300 ml until the dough consistency is right, not too runny or thick. When the dough is ready, just put the tofu pieces into it.

Next, prepare a frying pan filled with oil. Heat a frying pan over medium stove heat. When the oil is really hot, then fry the tofu pieces that have been soaked in the batter. Wait a few minutes until the tofu is half cooked and browned. "Use a lot of oil for frying," said the owner of the TikTok account @fifaah04, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (31/7). Then, sprinkle the tofu that is being fried with the remaining mixture, about 1 scoop of vegetable.
