Recipe Summary Batagor Bandung (Indonesian Fried Tofu)
This is a very popular street food found around the Sunda region of Western Java. Batagor is an acronym for Bakso Tahu Goreng (Fried Tofu Balls) though it's not really a ball, but more of a triangle shape. The tofu is stuffed with a mixture of savory ground meat, steamed, and then coated with batter and fried; it is served with a spicy sweet chile-peanut sauce.Ingredients | Resep Capcay Goreng Sederhana4 (8 ounce) containers tofu½ cup prawns - peeled, deveined, and minced1 egg, lightly beaten1 ½ ounces ground chicken1 green onion, chopped2 teaspoons cornstarch1 teaspoon sesame oilsalt and ground white pepper to taste1 egg6 tablespoons all-purpose flourcold water, or as needed⅓ cup water¼ cup coarsely chopped dry roasted peanuts1 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced2 teaspoons white vinegar1 teaspoon white sugar1 teaspoon saltoil for fryingDirectionsSlice each tofu square diagonally to make 8 triangles.

Carefully stuff filling back into the tofu triangles; the filling will bulge out.Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add stuffed tofu triangles, cover, and steam for 20 minutes.Meanwhile, make the batter. Mix egg and flour in a bowl.

Dip triangles into the batter and slowly lower into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and the batter is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the peanut sauce.We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.Info | Resep Capcay Goreng Sederhanaprep:
