 --- --- Fried tofu snacks are a staple in my house. My husband loves tofu, no matter how it's prepared, but he especially loves it fried. It's a must-have snack for him. Sometimes he even enjoys these fried snacks with vegetables or soup. This time, I’m going to make a snack that he really loves: crispy tofu, which my husband often buys from street vendors. Whenever we go out just to relax, he always buys this tofu. Since I was curious, I had to make it at home. --- --- ---

Street Food Recipe Crispy Tofu

---  --- Street vendor crispy tofu is very popular in our area, and probably in many areas in Indonesia. Besides being delicious, this snack is also very cheap and delicious to enjoy when it's hot, especially during the rainy season. This crispy fried tofu is a favorite, especially when enjoyed with green chili peppers, which give each bite an extraordinary flavor. Crispy tofu is made by cutting tofu into small pieces, soaking them briefly in batter, and then frying them until crispy. The most distinctive part is the batter that is soaked and sprinkled with oil during frying. The frying process is done in stages, resulting in a delicious crispy coating. --- --- ---
