Chewy Bouncy Tofu Balls

• tempo total: 2 minutes

Ingredientes

260 g firm tofu

170 g glutinous rice flour

1 tsp salt

For the sauce:

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1 tbsp chili flakes

1 stalk spring onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

5 tbsp hot oil

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sugar

3 tbsp water

Instruções

Crumble the tofu and press it through a sieve so make it ultrafine.

Add glutinous rice flour and salt. Mix until you get a soft, smooth dough like playdough. It should hold together but not stick to your hands.

Roll into small balls.

Drop them into boiling water. Once they float, let them boil for another 2 minutes to cook through.

Transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking and set the texture.

In a heatproof bowl, combine sesame seeds, chili flakes, spring onion, and garlic.

Heat oil until smoking hot. Pour it over the aromatics to bring out the fragrance. It should sizzle.

Add soy sauce, sugar, and water. Stir to make a spicy, umami-rich sauce.

Toss the tofu balls in the sauce and coat well. Serve warm!

These are chewy, savoury, and super satisfying.
