CRISPY, FLUFFY FRIED TAUFU PUFF

These crispy fried stuffed taufu puff is quite a common dish at ‘Chu Char’ stalls.  If you like to prepare these for your loved ones at home, not to worry, it is very easy. Not complicated as I thought when I first saw the recipe. I’m sharing this simple, easy recipe here with you.

Do give this a try, they are crispy on the outside which is quite tasteless but the flavour comes from the filling which is a combination of prawns, crabmeat and meat.

Dip in any of your favourite chilli sauce , it is awesome and quite addictive, I am sure you wouldn’t stop at one.

BTW, if you don’t have crab meat, just prawn flesh with pork or chicken, it is still okay.
