Instructions

Prepare the Broccoli: Blanch the fresh broccoli in boiling salted water for a brief period, then drain and set aside. This step will help retain its vibrant color and crisp texture.
-
Cook the Tofu: In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Gently fry the tofu cubes until they are golden on all sides, being careful not to overcook them. Once done, remove and set aside.
-
-
Sauté the Onion: In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes fragrant and translucent.
-
Add the Corned Beef: Introduce the canned corned beef to the pan and cook it with the onions until heated through, stirring occasionally.
-
Create the Sauce: Pour in the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. Adjust the taste as necessary.
-
Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the pan while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your liking.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Gently fold in the blanched broccoli and fried tofu. Stir just enough to coat the vegetables and tofu with the sauce, being careful not to overcook the broccoli.
-
Serve: Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a serving plate. Enjoy your delightful Broccoli Tofu with Corned Beef and Oyster Sauce as a delicious main dish or side!
