Instructions
-
Prepare the spice paste:
- Grind or finely chop the shallots, garlic, and pepper into a smooth paste. Set aside.
-
-
Prepare the tofu:
- If using white tofu, cut it into bite-sized pieces and fry it until golden brown. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Stir-fry the spices:
- In a hot pan, heat some oil. Sauté the spice paste until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add tofu and simmer:
- Add a little water to the pan, then carefully place the fried tofu into the pan. Stir well so the tofu absorbs the seasoning.
-
Cook the vegetables:
- Add the bean sprouts and sliced green onion to the pan. Stir gently to combine the ingredients. Season with salt, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon of sweet soy sauce. Let it cook for another 2 minutes.
-
Final touches:
- Remove from heat and garnish with crispy fried shallots for extra flavor.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Sayur Tahu Taoge with a side of fried eggs, sambal (chili sauce), and a dipping sauce made from sweet soy sauce, chopped tomatoes, and fresh chilies. Enjoy your meal!
Tips:
- To make the dish even healthier, try steaming the tofu instead of frying it.
- You can substitute firm tofu with tofu pong (a puffed variety) for added texture.
- Don’t overcook the bean sprouts to maintain their crunch.
This classic dish will surely bring comfort and satisfaction to your meal. Serve it with rice and other Indonesian side dishes for a complete feast. Enjoy! 😊
