Deep Fry Brown Tofu With Crunchy Vege Fillings

Who could resist tofu prepared this way. It is light and easy to prepare and can be served as an appetizer coz it will definitely whet up your appetite with the Thai Dipping Sauce.

I attended a pot luck party recently, and this lady brought a big plate full of tofu stuffed with cucumber, radish and carrot shreds. It looks so simple and nothing much to fuss about but the moment we took a bite…goodness it was deliciously yummy that it all diminished in minutes :) Of course, I, being the Piggy of the night, savoured it the most and needless to say, cornered her and asked her how come such a simple dish and yet tasted so good and she was happy to share her recipe with me and the ladies there :)))))

So , here I share with you guys this simple and yet delicious tofu stuffed with cucumber/radish/carrot shreds. The fillings were crunchy and the trick is this. Shred the cucumbers with core removed, radish and carrots finely. Soak in ice water and leave in the fridge for ½ hour , take out and drain dry. Leave it in the fridge till required.

Of course, the best part is this…get the best thai dipping chili sauce ( chicken brand) as shown. This sauce is so far the best and she recommended this brand becoz it is not overly sweet and I agreed with her…it can be used as dips for fried wanton and fried chicken too.

shreds of cucumber, radish and carrots,

a colorful and cheerful combination :)

Could anyone resist this appetizing tofu.??? (",)
