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.
Recipe adapted from my selected cookbook for Cookbook Countdown Event #3] - Home Cooking Magazine [January 2001] with modifications

100 gm chicken fillet - minced

Other Ingredients

  1. Kimmy, I have tried something like this before and I loved it! Now I feel like making these fried taufu puffs this weekend even though I dread the deep frying part.

  2. Hi Phong Hong, make sure to get the fluffy type [hollow inside] of taufu pok, can stuff more filling in it. Not to worry, the frying is very quick and you can do it in batches.
