🔪 Instructions
1. Prepare the tofu
1. Cut a small slit or hollow in each tofu block to create a pocket.
2. Gently scoop out some tofu from the center to make space for stuffing.
3. In a bowl, mix the minced filling ingredients (chicken/shrimp/tempeh, carrot, spring onion, soy sauce, pepper, sesame oil, salt).
4. Stuff each tofu pocket with this mixture.
2. Fry the tofu
1. Heat oil in a pan and shallow-fry the stuffed tofu until golden brown on all sides.
2. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
