Tofu syrniki (soft-cheese fritters)

Another way to cook up healthy, light tofu. This one was an improvisation. I figured that since tofu is basically a curd, it should make good syrniki—golden and tasty. Serve them with syrup, jam, or sour cream.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 20 min

Step 1:

The ingredients you'll need. The tofu has to be patted well dry. Mine was thawed and pressed.
Step 2:

Grate the tofu on a fine grater.
Step 3:

Add the egg and mix well.
Step 4:

Add the sugar and vanillin. You can swap in one packet of vanilla sugar instead.
Step 5:

Work in the flour gradually. How much you need depends on how much moisture is left in the tofu.
Step 6:

Knead the dough. It should hold its shape and not fall apart.
Step 7:

Roll the dough into balls, flatten them, then dredge in flour.
Step 8:

Fry in a preheated skillet for 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 9:

The longer you fry them, the denser the fritters will be.
