Cara Bikin Nugget Tahu

>Hello Sohib EditorOnline! Do you love nuggets? How about trying to make some at home? In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of making tahu nuggets, a healthier alternative to the usual chicken nuggets. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

Before we start, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients and equipment:

Ingredients	Equipment
250g tahu (tofu)	Blender
1 egg	Pan
1/2 cup bread crumbs	Stove
1/4 cup all-purpose flour	Frying oil
1/2 tsp salt	Plate
1/4 tsp pepper	Kitchen towel
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Preparing the Tahu

The first step is to prepare the tahu (tofu). Here’s what you need to do:

1. Drain the Tahu

Remove the tahu from its packaging and drain any excess water by pressing it between layers of kitchen towel. You want to get rid of as much moisture as possible to ensure the nuggets are crispy.

2. Blend the Tahu

Place the drained tahu into a blender and blend until it’s a smooth paste. This should take a minute or two, depending on the power of your blender.

3. Season the Tahu

Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the tahu paste and blend again until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Making the Nuggets

Now that the tahu paste is ready, it’s time to form it into nuggets.

1. Form the Nuggets

Take a small amount of the tahu paste and shape it into a nugget. You can make them any size you like, but it’s best to keep them small so they cook through evenly.

2. Dredge the Nuggets

Roll each nugget in the all-purpose flour until it’s coated evenly. This will help the egg wash adhere to the tahu nugget.

3. Coat the Nuggets in Egg Wash

Whisk the egg in a separate bowl until it’s frothy. Dip each flour-coated nugget into the egg wash and make sure it’s completely coated.

4. Coat the Nuggets in Bread Crumbs

Finally, roll each egg-washed nugget in the bread crumbs until it’s coated evenly. The bread crumbs will give the nuggets their crispy texture.

Cooking the Nuggets

Now that the nuggets are ready, it’s time to cook them.

1. Heat the Oil

Heat the frying oil in a pan over medium heat. You want the oil to be hot enough to fry the nuggets, but not so hot that they burn.

2. Fry the Nuggets

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated nuggets into the pan. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.

3. Drain and Serve

When the nuggets are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with kitchen towel to drain any excess oil. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
