Tofu walik is one of the favorite and very popular snacks in Indonesia. There are various preparations of walik tofu, some are vegan and non-vegan, and most importantly walik tofu is made with a very easy recipe that is certainly accepted by the tongue of anyone who enjoys it.

Today as usual tofu walik became a snack at home that I wanted to make. I deliberately bought tofu pong or tofu without filling yesterday at the market, the plan was to make tofu walik. In my area walik tofu is rarely sold in street vendors, usually this walik tofu is available in cafes. You know, lately I've been so busy that I don't even have time to go to cafes for coffee. I've been spending a lot of time at home because my house is in the middle of a leaky roof renovation.




What is walik tofu?

Walik tofu is fried tofu that is flipped and then filled with a dough filling. Tofu walik is a typical trasional snack from one of the regions in Indonesia. This tofu has an authentic flavor with a crunchy texture because it uses tofu pong. Made the walik tofu batter very simply by mixing tapioca flour and mushrooms then stirring in half a piece of corn vermicelli. This recipe and the taste is very authentic, i have previously tried tofu walik at a cafe you can see in the previous post



Intrigued by the simple recipe of from tofu walik with a delicious soy sauce combination, let's take a look at the recipe!

Step 6


Take one part of the tofu pong that has been turned over, fill it into the inner hole until it is filled. When it's all done, fry until golden brown, I like the outside crispier so that the frying is more done.

3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
Palm sugar to taste
5 pieces of cayenne pepper

The combination of the crispy fried tofu with the chewy filling and the savory combination of all the ingredients makes this dish so delicious. I'm sure everyone will love it, and you can definitely taste the sweet and spicy sensation of the soy sauce. My vegan tofu walik experiment was so delicious I think I'll repeat this recipe next time I have a big family gathering.
