need to learn more ways to make tofu 🌝 Spicy Garlic Tofu ~ingredients: * firm tofu (sliced into 1 cm blocks) * 2 tbsp corn starch * 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil * 1 tbsp ginger (minced) * 2 tbsp garlic (minced) * 2 dried red chilies (chopped) * 1 tbsp chili bean paste * sauce: 3 tbsp water, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp cooking wine, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp corn starch * green onion (chopped) ~instructions: 1. Press out excess liquid from the tofu (using a tofu press), and pat dry. (If you don’t have a tofu press, you can also just place a heavy cutting board on top of the tofu and press.) 2. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside. 3. Cut the tofu into thin blocks, and pat dry again. You want to get the tofu as dry as possible for the next step. 4. Heat up a wok on high heat with 2 tbsp of neutral cooking oil. 5. While the wok heats up, dust corn starch over each block of tofu, on both sides. There should be a visible thin coating. 6. Place the tofu into the hot oil, don’t overlap the tofu. (I cooked the tofu in two batches) 7. Turn the heat down to a medium and fry the tofu for 1-2 minutes, or until golden, then flip and repeat. Set aside on a plate once done. 8. In the same wok, there should be some oil left. Add in the ginger, garlic, chili, and chili bean paste to the oil, and stir-fry until fragrant. 9. Give the sauce another stir, before adding it into the wok. 10. Add in the tofu quickly, and flip gently into the sauce until each piece is coated with the sauce. Once the sauce is thickened, turn off the heat. 11. Plate the tofu, garnish with green onion, and enjoy! . . . . #tofu #spicy #easydinner #simplerecipe #recipesoftiktok #dinnerideas #cookingvlog #chinesefood #asianfood
