Broccoli Tofu with Black Pepper Shrimp

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Silken tofu 1 package
Broccoli 2 handfuls
Shrimp 1 handful
Onion (sliced) 1 medium
Garlic (minced) 2 cloves
Bird’s eye chili (sliced) To taste
Cornstarch 1 teaspoon
Black pepper 1 teaspoon
Mushroom broth (or stock) To taste
Sugar To taste
Salt To taste
Water As needed
Cooking oil For frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the silken tofu into cubes and frying them in hot oil until they are half-cooked and lightly golden. This will add a delightful texture to your dish. Once done, remove them from the pan and set aside.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary, and sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.

  3. Add Heat: Stir in the sliced bird’s eye chili, adjusting the amount according to your spice preference. Allow the chili to infuse its heat into the mixture for about a minute.

  4. Cook the Shrimp: Next, add the shrimp to the pan. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, which typically takes just a few minutes.

  5. Combine Ingredients: Once the shrimp are cooked, gently fold in the fried tofu cubes. Add enough water to create a saucy consistency.

  6. Season the Dish: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry, then pour this into the pan. Season with black pepper, mushroom broth, salt, and sugar, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to over-stir, as you want to keep the tofu intact.

  7. Finish with Broccoli: Finally, add the broccoli florets to the pan. Allow everything to simmer for a few minutes until the broccoli is tender yet still vibrant in color.

  8. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  9. Serve: Your Broccoli Tofu with Black Pepper Shrimp is ready to be served! This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, allowing the flavorful sauce to soak in. Enjoy your culinary creation!
