Q & A

What is the main dish being prepared in this video?

The main dish being prepared is Tahu Bulat, which are fried tofu balls often sold by street vendors.

What are the key ingredients required for Tahu Bulat?

The key ingredients are 10 blocks of white tofu, 1 egg (only the egg yolk), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of double-acting baking powder.

How should the tofu be prepared before mixing it with other ingredients?

The tofu should be washed and drained, then crumbled into small pieces using your hands, and excess water should be squeezed out using a clean cloth or towel.

Why is it important to remove excess water from the tofu?

Removing excess water ensures the tofu has the right texture for frying and prevents the batter from being too watery, which could affect the frying process.

What is the function of the egg yolk in the recipe?

The egg yolk helps activate the baking powder, which makes the tofu balls expand and become light and airy when fried.

Can I use the entire egg instead of just the egg yolk?

No, the recipe specifically calls for only the egg yolk. Using the whole egg might alter the texture and prevent the tofu from expanding as desired.

Why is double-acting baking powder used in this recipe?

Double-acting baking powder is used because it releases gas at two stages: once when mixed with wet ingredients, and again when exposed to heat. This helps the tofu balls expand and become fluffy when fried.

What size should the tofu balls be before frying?

The tofu balls should be small, as they will expand 2-3 times in size when fried. However, you can make them larger if you prefer.

Why should the tofu balls be rested for about 1 hour before frying?

Resting the tofu balls helps improve the texture and ensures they hold their shape better during frying.

How should the tofu balls be fried to get the desired result?

The tofu balls should be fried in cold oil to prevent splattering. The heat should be set to medium-low to allow the balls to expand and cook evenly, and they should be fried until golden brown and crispy.
