Ingredients

• 400 g firm tofu
• 120 ml coconut oil (for frying)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 50 g almond flour
• 2 tbsp unsweetened soy sauce (optional for dipping)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh chili (optional for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top (like a skillet). Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2.5 cm squares.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to form a dry coating mixture.

Step 4

Gently coat each tofu piece in the almond flour mixture until evenly covered. Shake off any excess.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 175°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of the almond flour coating into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.

Step 6

Carefully add the tofu cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried tofu pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

If desired, prepare a simple dipping sauce by mixing unsweetened soy sauce with chopped fresh chili.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Tahu Goreng warm with the dipping sauce on the side for a delicious low-carb snack or appetizer.
