Fried Carrot and Tofu Balls

Introduction:

In this post, I introduced a fried tofu recipe, which was a wonderful success. Today, another recipe for deep fired carrot and tofu balls is coming up.

The frying processes are similar to each other. Only the ingredients and seasonings are a little bit different.

This dish was also very successful as far as the flavor and color are concerned.

Ingredients:

Tofu: 100 g

Carrot: 125 g

Seasonings:

Salt: 3 g

Sichuan pepper powder: 2 g

Black pepper powder: 2 g

Peanut oil: 4 tablespoons

Dry starch: 2 tablespoons

Preparation Work:

1. Rinse the carrot clean, put it in a steamer; mash it after it is steamed;

2. Mash the tofu;

3. Mix the mashed carrot, mashed tofu, black pepper powder, salt and the starch together; blend it the mixture until it becomes paste.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the peanut oil in the wok;

2. Turn to low heat;

3. Take a tablespoon of the paste, shape it into a ball and put it into the oil until the ball turns to gold in color;

4. Take the fried balls out and put it onto a plate;

5. Fry a few at a time because we are using relatively less oil.

Cooking Tips:

1. I used hard tofu instead of soft and tender bean curd because it made the paste not too thin.

However, I am very interested in making some fried balls with tender tofu instead. I will update you later when I do this.

2. The mashed carrot enhanced the color of the balls.

3. Enjoy biting soon after the fried carrot and tofu balls are done. Otherwise, they will become soggy and degrade in taste.
