Fried Tofu Cakes
On Thursday, I was wondering around Little Saigon and stumbled upon Dong Phuong Tofu. It's a small tofu store that's tucked between several Vietnamese restaurants on Moran Street.
I walked inside and noticed a mother handing her toddler a fried tofu cake. She started eating it and smiling. I smiled at her and she quickly hid behind her mother's legs. I asked the mom what kind of fried tofu she recommends. She immediately pointed to the tofu with chives.
I stared at the various fried tofu cakes on the counter. A lady behind me in line seemed pretty eager to get her tofu, so I told her to go ahead of me. She also ordered the tofu with chives, so I knew I had to get them too.
I walked up to the register and pointed to the tofu with chives. The lady at the register started shoveling the tasty little cakes into a plastic shopping bag. These little yellow cakes are box-shaped and about the size of a cigarette box.
It only cost me a dollar for a bag full of fried tofu with chives. You just can't beat the price. I bit into the warm tofu cake and was pleasantly surprised how good it tasted. The fried exterior added a nice contrast to the soft tofu inside. The chives were stringy, and provided not only great flavor, but also a skeleton to keep everything together as I was eating the tofu.
I brought the remainder of the tofu to work and shared with my coworkers. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the tofu. I'm definitely going back.

I love these things! They are particularly good with ponzu (Japanese citrus soy sauce) with cilantro, although at first my Vietnamese friend cringed at the idea. Yum!
I think we like the same food. I love Beignets, pho, and soup too.
Wonderful photos! Makes me hungry.
