Fried Tofu Patties (Ganmodoki) is a fritter made of tofu as a base, with finely chopped vegetables mixed in. It is a vegetarian food. The outside is slightly crunchy and inside is fluffy and soft. It is best to eat it straight after deep-frying, with soy sauce and grated ginger. See the video.The Total Time does not include the time to remove excess water from the tofu, which takes 6-12 hours.Don&#39;t forget to see the section &#39;MEAL IDEAS&#39; below the recipe card! It gives you a list of dishes that I have already posted and this recipe that can make up a complete meal. I hope it is of help to you.

Fried Tofu Patties (Ganmodoki)

packs momen tofu ((2 x 300 grams/10.6 ounces pack, note 1))

carrot

grams/1.4 edamame beans ((note 2))

tbsp dried hijiki seaweed ((rehydrated, note 3))

egg (beaten)

tbsp corn flour

salt

Wrap two blocks of tofu in a couple of layers of paper towel and place them on a rack in a tray (note 4). Cover it with cling wrap.

Place another tray on top of the tofu with a weight of 1.5-2kg/3.3-4.4lb (note 5). Leave it in the fridge for 6-12 hours until the weight of the tofu becomes about 400g/14.1oz in total.

Randomly chop edamame beans into smaller pieces (about quarter size). Squeeze water out of the rehydrated hijiki.

Put the tofu in a large mortar, a bowl, or a stand mixer and break it into very fine pieces, almost like a coarse paste.

Add corn flour/cornstarch and salt to the tofu and mix well.

Add a half of the beaten egg to the tofu and mix well. If the tofu mixture is still very firm, you can add some more egg, but if the mixture is very soft, do not add any more egg. If the mixture is too soft, you cannot form round patties.

Put all the vegetables into the tofu mixture and mix well, ensuring that the vegetables are evenly spread.

Transfer the mixture to a tray, levelling the surface. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions by drawing lines (note 6).

Put a small amount of oil (not in ingredients list) on your hand, take a 1/8 portion of the tofu mixture and form a round patty of about 7cm/2¾&quot; in diameter.

Put oil in a frying pan or a wide saucepan up to 2-2.5cm/¾-1&quot; deep, and heat to 160°C/320°F.

Put tofu patties into the oil. Deep-fry for 2.5-3 minutes on one side until lightly browned. Turn them over and cook further 2.5-3 minutes. The surface of the ganmodoki should be light brown, not dark brown.

Transfer the ganmodoki to a tray/plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
