Ingredients
- 6 pieces tofu (firm variety)
- 200 grams ground chicken
- 100 grams cabbage, finely shredded
- 50 grams carrot, finely grated
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 large egg, beaten
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Cut a slit in the side of each tofu piece to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through. Scoop out a small amount of the tofu from the center to make room for the filling.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, minced garlic, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 3
Stuff each tofu pocket with the filling, pressing the mixture firmly into the tofu to ensure it's packed tightly.
Step 4
Set up a breading station with coconut flour in one bowl and beaten eggs in another.
Step 5
Coat each stuffed tofu piece lightly in coconut flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully covered.
Step 6
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the stuffed tofu pieces in batches until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
Step 7
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with a side of sugar-free chili sauce or keto-friendly dipping sauce of your choice.
