Directions

30 min
  1. 1

    Remove the 400g firm tofu from the package and gently squeeze it by hand to drain excess water.

  2. 2

    Place 425g of ground chicken breast and the tofu in a bowl, then knead and mix together thoroughly by hand while breaking up the tofu.

  3. 3

    Add 2 tsp garlic paste, 2 tsp ginger paste, 4 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp salt and pepper, and 3 tbsp cornstarch. Knead well by hand until the mixture becomes smooth.

  4. 4

    Heat the frying oil over medium-low heat. Using two spoons, shape the mixture into rounds and gently drop them into the oil.

  5. 5

    Without stirring, deep-fry until the nuggets are golden, moving the pan occasionally to ensure the oil reaches all sides.

  6. 6

    Remove the first-fried nuggets from the oil, lower the oil temperature slightly, then fry them again until crispy and golden.

  7. 7

    Transfer to a serving plate. Mix together 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp whole grain mustard to make a dipping sauce and serve alongside.

Tips

Thoroughly mixing and kneading the tofu and ground chicken will create a tender, bouncy texture. Using firm tofu will result in a fluffy finish.
