What is Tauhu Begedil?

Tauhu Begedil, also known as Tahu Goreng, is a delicious and popular deep-fried Indonesian dish. It is made with diced firm tofu that is mixed with a variety of ingredients such as shallot, garlic, chili, and spices. The mixture is then formed into small patties, coated with bread crumbs, and deep-fried until golden brown. It is usually served as a side dish or as an appetizer with a dipping sauce.

Ingredients

To make this delicious dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 blocks of firm tofu, diced into small cubes
