Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • minced beef (as needed)
  • minced pork (as needed)
  • 1/3 block tofu
  • breadcrumbs (a little)
  • milk (a little)
  • seasoned salt (a little)
  • pepper (a little)
  • butter (a little)
  • minced green onion/onion/carrot (a little)
  • flour (as needed)
  • 2 eggs
  • cooking oil (as needed)

Recipe 🍳

  1. To the prepared homemade basic meat batter, add the mashed tofu that has been thoroughly squeezed of water using a cheesecloth.
  2. Knead vigorously with strong force until the tofu and meat are completely combined into one uniform mass.
  3. Take small portions of the batter, about one bite size, and shape them into round, flat patties using your palms.
  4. Lightly coat the shaped patties with a thin layer of flour, then dip them into a bowl of well-beaten eggs to coat evenly.
  5. Grease a preheated pan with cooking oil, and over medium-low heat, gently pan-fry the patties until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  1. Thoroughly squeeze moisture from tofu, then mix into the basic meat batter to create a highly cohesive texture.
  2. Shape into uniformly sized round, flat bite-sized patties, then coat smoothly first with flour and then with egg wash.
  3. Place in an oiled warm pan and gently pan-fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since excess moisture in tofu greatly reduces binding strength and causes the patties to fall apart during frying, thoroughly squeezing out the water using a cheesecloth before adding is the key to success.
  • Frying over high heat will burn the egg coating while leaving the inside raw, so after preheating the pan, be sure to reduce to medium-low heat to allow heat to penetrate the center.
