Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 100 grams cornstarch
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 250 milliliters ice cold water
• 500 milliliters cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2x2 cm cubes.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, white pepper, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add ice cold water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth, slightly thick batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 4

Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, dip each piece of tofu into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the battered tofu into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried tofu from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Vegetarian Ayam Goreng Tepung hot with your choice of dipping sauces or as part of a meal with rice and vegetables.
