Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining and pressing the extra-firm tofu for about 15 minutes. Crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Grate the carrot and chop the cabbage finely. Massage them with salt for about 5 minutes, then squeeze out excess liquid.
  3. In the mixing bowl, add the vegetables, minced garlic, diced onion, flour, cornstarch, vegetarian oyster sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir together thoroughly.
  4. Wet your hands slightly, scoop portions of the mixture, and shape into small patties. Place them on a plate.
  5. Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Remove the patties from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
