I regretted only getting six when three disappeared after the first bite.
I’m salivating over here. I love these so much. Regrettably, a lot of them are not produced in a sanitary or even slightly healthy way. This documentary is quite accurate. One of my family members used to work at one of these, and told us about it last time we were over there for a visit, in Surabaya.
Thanks, I’ll definitely watch that and I will definitely eat some more crispy tofu before I leave regardless, hahaha.
It certainly does have that reused/muddled cooking oil taste.
Nice. Tofu is one of those things that hardly ever inspires me to cook but sounds/looks delicious when I see it somewhere else. Any idea what the pepper is that comes with them? Is it meant to be eaten with them or is it a garnish or aromatic thing?
Ha, I’m the exact same way. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve deliberately bought and cooked with tofu, but I always love a tofu dish and especially when it’s something fun or snack-like. I’ve probably eaten similar snack tofus hundreds of times in China and other countries although this one is unique in how crunchy it is and how thick the crust is.
The chilis are meant to be eaten at your discretion. They are spicy little things and look like the same chili I’ve seen local restaurants use to make sambal here, much smaller than chili peppers I’m used to seeing. They appear to be birds-eye chili pepper.
Sounds likely!
They do have a certain freshness I don’t normally associate with chilis and seem to serve the same cut-through-the-oil function that sides of vinegar often serve as in other cultures.
