Tofu Puff with Cabbage – Sichuan Chinese Food

So we’ve prepared a super easy slow cooker cabbage and tofu patty recipe. It’s a hot, spicy, salty recipe that takes 5 minutes.

What is tofu puff?

It has a lovely Chinese name: 豆腐泡, which means it’s puffed tofu. But in reality, it is fried tofu.

Soybeans are soaked and then mixed with soy milk. You can follow these steps to prepare plain tofu at home.

It is very easy to prepare tofu at home, just cut the tofu into small cubes. Then heat oil in a pot or frying pan and deep fry until the tofu is crispy and golden brown.

The deep frying process will remove the moisture inside the tofu, causing it to expand quickly, making the tofu puff up. So you will find a lot of holes inside the tofu puff.

Tofu puffs have a lovely spongy texture and are usually square or rectangular. If you plan to buy it from the market, look for the refrigerated sections of the markets. They are usually sold near tofu.
