Recipe

Fold the seaweed in half, cut it into even rectangular pieces of suitable size.
Press the tofu gently with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture thoroughly.
Cut the imitation crab in half lengthwise, and slice the tofu into thick pieces matching the size and thickness of the cut imitation crab.
Sprinkle 2 pinches of salt evenly over the top surface of the tofu for light seasoning.
In a bowl, beat 1 egg with 1 pinch of salt until smooth, avoiding lumps.
Place the seasoned tofu and imitation crab on the cut seaweed, one by one, and roll them tightly.
Dip the end of the seaweed slightly in the prepared egg mixture to secure it firmly when placing on the pan.
Heat a pan and add vegetable oil. Dip the seaweed-wrapped tofu imitation crab rolls completely in the egg mixture before placing them on the pan.
Gently fry over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the egg coating turns golden brown on both sides.

Remove moisture from tofu and cut into pieces; slice imitation crab horizontally to match the seaweed size.
Place tofu and imitation crab on seaweed, roll tightly, and secure the ends with egg wash.
Coat with egg and pan-fry in oiled skillet until golden on both sides.

Cooking tips

Remove as much moisture as possible from the tofu to prevent oil splatter and keep the seaweed crisp, ensuring a neat shape.
Since the imitation crab are already salty, season the tofu only lightly with salt—no need for heavy seasoning.
Use tweezers or tongs instead of a spatula when flipping to avoid tearing the egg coating, resulting in a cleaner presentation.
