How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh moringa leaves
- You should buy moringa leaves from reputable and reliable places.
- The moringa leaves must be fresh, not wilted, and not heavily bruised.
How to choose delicious tofu
- Choose pieces of tofu that are off-white; if they have a yellowish or yellow color, they contain gypsum. The yellower the tofu, the more gypsum it has.
- It is best to buy tofu pieces that feel light and soft when held. If they feel heavy, firm, slightly hard, or too square, you should pass on them.
- Additionally, pay attention to the smell of the tofu. Genuine, pure tofu has a distinctive fragrant smell, while tofu containing gypsum either has no smell or has a faint smell of lime.
- When cooked, real tofu has the rich taste of soybeans, similar to cream, while tofu with gypsum will taste slightly bitter.
- You can buy ready-made tofu at supermarkets or stores, or make it at home using the recipe from Tastetutorial.com.
How to prepare Moringa Tofu Cake
-
Prepare the ingredients
Carefully strip the moringa leaves from the branches to prevent bruising, then wash thoroughly, drain, and chop finely.
Remove the shells from almonds, walnuts, and cashews, chop finely, and mix well.
Wash the purchased tofu thoroughly and let it drain.
-
Stuff the tofu
Add the prepared moringa leaves, walnuts, cashews, and almonds to the tofu plate, then mix well to combine the ingredients.
-
Shape and fry the cake
Take a tablespoon of the mixture you just made and shape it into flat round forms.
Next, heat a pan on the stove, add 70ml of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add each cake to fry on medium heat.
To reduce the oil in the dish, after frying the cakes until golden on both sides, remove them and let them drain on paper towels for about 5 minutes.
Finally, just place the cakes on a plate for decoration. That’s it, you’re done.
