I actually wanted to make “bakso tahu jamur (tahu bakso)”, which is often found in a bowl of Indonesian meatballs and noodle soup. It is steamed puffed tofu that is normally filled with spiced ground beef paste. Mine is of course veganized, without the ground beef but mushrooms instead. However, I was running out of tofu puff, so I came up with the idea of rolling the mushroom paste in Nori sheet (roasted seaweed), hence the name shroom-weed (mushroom in seaweed) ?
Here I post recipes for the shroom-weed and the stuffed tofu!
(The tamarind soup is using spice pouch, available in many brands at Asian stores)
