Instructions

  1. Prepare the spice paste:

    • Grind or finely chop the shallots, garlic, and pepper into a smooth paste. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir-fry the spices:

    • In a hot pan, heat some oil. Sauté the spice paste until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Final touches:

    • Remove from heat and garnish with crispy fried shallots for extra flavor.
  7. 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! 😊
