Hi all of you, how you doing? Well, what we have today? I would love to share one of my kitchen recipe menu idea for dinner called stuffed tofu. Yes, if you googling there are many recipes about how to make this stuffed tofu. But, like always, I make it on my way and my recipe. Why I always say on my way, because if you see the traditional way, for me it consume a lot of time because we have to mash the seasoning with mortar and pastel. Besides I want to make it more healthy with a lot of veggies. Plus, I don't have much time in the kitchen. So, let's take a look!

Ingredient:

• 10 g of garlic & onion (spice blend)
• 10 g of onion powder
• 5-7 g of black pepper powder
• 7-10 g of salt
• If you like pepper then you need 5 g - 7 g of crushed red pepper
• 250 ml of water
• About 400 ml of canola oil to fry the stuffed tofu

These are what you do:

• Prepare the pan and pour the canola oil. Turn on the stove on medium-low flame
• Wait for a few seconds, take one fried tofu that filled with tuna veggies (stuffed tofu) then cover it with seasoning flour, and place it into oil, repeat it. Yes, this is the tips that you have to cover the stuffed tofu with seasoning flour one by one when you ready to fry them
• Fry until golden brown, take aside on kitchen paper
