Tofu Cracker Ingredients- 100g Tofu (water removed)
- 150g Cake Flour
- 45g Sugar
- 3g Salt
- 1 Egg
- Sesame Seeds (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in a bowl, combine 45g of sugar and 1 egg. Whisk them together until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture becomes lighter in color. Dissolving the sugar completely is key to achieving a tender cracker texture rather than a hard one.
Step 2
It’s crucial to remove as much moisture as possible from the 100g of tofu. Use paper towels or a clean cloth to thoroughly pat the tofu dry. Excess water can make the dough too wet, leading to difficulties in shaping.
Step 3
Mash the dried tofu until it’s very smooth and lump-free. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this. Smoothly mashed tofu is the foundation for a tender dough.
Step 4
Add the mashed tofu to the sugar and egg mixture prepared earlier. Gently mix them together with a spatula or your hands until well combined. The key is to ensure the tofu and batter are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Now, sift 150g of cake flour into the dough. Sifting the flour helps prevent lumps and results in a smoother dough, making the crackers crispier.
Step 6
After adding the flour, add 3g of salt for seasoning. Gently knead the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. Be careful not to over-knead, as this can make the crackers tough.
Step 7
Once the dough starts to come together, stir in sesame seeds to your liking. Mix again lightly to ensure they are evenly distributed. The nutty flavor of the sesame seeds will greatly enhance the taste of the tofu crackers.
Step 8
Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough makes it much easier to roll out and shape.
Step 9
Before taking the chilled dough out, lightly sprinkle some flour on your cutting board or work surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking, allowing for clean cutting.
Step 10
Place the chilled dough on the floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out thinly and evenly to about 2-3mm thickness. The thinner you roll it, the crispier the crackers will become.
Step 11
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shapes and sizes. Cutting them into fun shapes like squares or triangles can make them even more appealing for kids.
Step 12
Arrange the cut tofu cracker pieces in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Bake in a preheated air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for about 15 minutes. Flipping them halfway through will ensure even crispiness.
Step 13
Once baked, carefully remove the tofu crackers and let them cool slightly. They will become crispier as they cool completely. Enjoy your delicious, healthy, and incredibly satisfying tofu crackers!
