Tumis Toge Tahu: A Quick and Flavorful Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
- 100 grams of bean sprouts (toge)
- 3 small blocks of white tofu (tahu), cut into cubes
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 red chilies, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder (e.g., Indofood Magic)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry them briefly until they develop a light golden-brown crust. The tofu should be firm and slightly crisp, but not overly dry.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the sliced shallots and minced garlic until they become fragrant and soften.
-
Add the Chilies: Toss in the sliced red chilies and continue to cook for a few more minutes until they start to wilt.
-
Stir-Fry the Bean Sprouts: Add the bean sprouts to the pan and stir-fry them until they are just tender but still crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the fried tofu cubes to the pan, followed by the granulated sugar and seasoning powder. Stir everything together to ensure that the tofu and bean sprouts are well-coated with the flavors.
-
Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You do not need to add any water; the goal is to keep the texture of the bean sprouts crunchy and not mushy.
-
Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Enjoy this delightful Tumis Toge Tahu as a quick and savory side dish or a satisfying main course.
This easy-to-make stir-fry highlights the freshness of bean sprouts and the rich flavor of tofu, making it a perfect addition to any meal.
