Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Drain and press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture for 15 minutes, then crumble into a mixing bowl.
  2. Combine grated carrot and thinly sliced cabbage with a pinch of salt; massage for a couple of minutes and let sit for 5 minutes before squeezing out excess moisture.
  3. Add pressed tofu, squeezed vegetables, minced garlic, diced onion, flour, corn starch, and vegetarian oyster sauce into the mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into small patties about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a plate.
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat; add cooking oil and fry patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with Thai sweet chili sauce.

Notes

Ensure the tofu is well-pressed and taste the mixture before shaping for best flavor adjustment.
