Golden Tofu Cakes
Ingredients
- 1 pack of firm tofu, drained well
- 1/4 cup chopped celery (used chinese celery)
- 1/4 cup chopped jicama
- 1 small carrot, chopped
- 2.5 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 2 teaspoons salt
- a pinch of white pepper
- oil for pan-frying
- sweet chili sauce (used maeploy_kitchen brand) with chopped cilantro
Preparation
Mash tofu in a bowl, if it's too wet, use a paper towel to absorb moisture. Add celery, jicama, carrot, starch, salt & white pepper to tofu & mix until well combined. Take about 2 tablespoons of mixture & mold it into a patty by passing it between your palms??
In a heated non-stick pan, drizzle a thin layer of oil covering the pan, place patty in slowly one by one.
Using low-med heat, pan-fry cakes until golden brown on both sides. It's best to flip when the tofu starts to turn golden brown at the bottom.
I place tofu cakes on a parchment paper while working on the rest. Parchment paper helps absorbs some moisture too.
To serve, wrap tofu cakes with your favorite leafy greens & dip in sweet chili sauce with a squeeze of lime juice.
Note: chopped cilantro & sweet chili sauce is the best combo. Try it & let me know what you think,??
