Key Ingredients- Flour (cake flour or all-purpose flour) 150g (approx. 1.5 paper cups)
- Mashed Tofu 150g (use firm tofu; avoid silken or soft tofu)
- Black Sesame Seeds 1-2 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, mashed tofu, and black sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. Begin mixing with your hands or a spatula until the ingredients start to come together. If it seems too dry, gradually add a tiny bit more mashed tofu or a splash of water; if too wet, incorporate a little more flour until you achieve a smooth, pliable dough. Once combined, transfer the dough to a clean work surface or cutting board. Divide the dough into equal portions, ready for shaping.
Step 2
Using a rolling pin or even a clean bottle, flatten each portion of dough into a thin, even sheet, about 2-3mm thick. This thinness is crucial for achieving a satisfying crispiness. Once rolled out, use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes and sizes. Lightly grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of cooking oil, or line it with parchment paper. This step helps prevent the crackers from sticking and enhances their crispiness. Arrange the cut dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for approximately 9 minutes. Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them until they turn a light golden brown. Once baked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the crackers to cool slightly on the pan before transferring them to a serving plate using tongs or a spatula. For a delightful variation, consider mixing in a small amount of glutinous rice flour with the dough and allowing it to rest and ferment before baking; this will result in a chewy interior similar to sweet rice bread or sesame glutinous rice cakes, offering a wonderfully complex texture and flavor.
