AF is nuts about anything TOFU so will be trying out the pops soon.. i hope.
Ingredients:
-1/2 lb or slightly lesser ground beef or chicken
-1 pack of standard size tofu (Note: silken contains more moisture and the resultant "pop" tend to be more "juicy", not dry. You can use medium-soft or firm but the texture is going to be different)
-1 egg white (as binder)
-1 tbsp soy sauce to season/marinade the meat
- dashes of white pepper to season/marinade the meat
- less than 1 tsp sesame oil to season/marinade the meat
- cornflour to thicken the tofu+meat batter/mixture if too hard to shape into little rounds (plays a binder role, too)
- potato flour for coating
Directions:
1. Mash up the tofu and mix with seasoned ground meat. Add in egg white and mix thoroughly
2. When in a consistency easy to be shape, make rounds out of the mixture (similar to making fish balls from fish paste)
3. Dust or roll them over a light coat of potato flour, set aside
4. Prepare hot oil in wok for deep frying
5. Slide those rounds by the side of the wok into the medium-hot oil to be deep fried
6. When starts to change color to light brown, strain out from hot oil and set aside to drain excess oil from paper towels
7. Before serving, you can dash a lil' white pepper over the tofu pops to enhance the flavor.
Also, sprinkle some nori strips or flakes. Warm, moist inside...crisp and chewy outside...
