Here’s a recipe for elegant Tofu Spam Pancakes that are perfect for entertaining guests or as a delightful snack for kids. They offer a charm all their own, different from the usual Three-Color Pancakes.
Main Ingredients for Tofu Spam Pancakes- 1/2 block Tofu (approx. 150g)
- 1/2 can Spam (approx. 100g)
- 1 Egg
- A pinch of Black Pepper
- A little Dried Parsley Flakes (1/2 tsp)
- Cooking Oil (for pan-frying) as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the tofu. Gently press the tofu with paper towels to remove excess water. Properly draining the tofu is crucial for preventing the pancakes from falling apart and ensuring they become crispy.
Step 2
Next, we’ll prepare the Spam. Briefly blanch the canned Spam in hot water for about 3 minutes. This step helps to reduce excess grease and saltiness, resulting in a cleaner flavor.
Step 3
Slice the drained tofu and blanched Spam into similar sizes, about 1cm thick. Stack slices of tofu and Spam alternately to create sandwich-like pieces, which makes them even more appealing.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to make the egg batter. Crack one egg into a bowl, add a pinch of pepper and dried parsley flakes, and whisk well. Dip each Tofu Spam sandwich into this egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Aim for a thin coating of egg.
Step 5
Heat a pan with a generous amount of cooking oil over medium-low heat. Place the egg-coated Tofu Spam pieces onto the pan. Cooking over medium-low heat rather than high heat ensures they cook evenly through and don’t burn.
Step 6
Pan-fry each side until golden brown and delicious. They are ready when the egg coating is set. A final sprinkle of pepper will enhance the aroma. Enjoy your crispy and savory Tofu Spam Pancakes!
