Mun Tahu Sapi (Braised Tofu with Ground Beef)
Ingredients:
- 2 pieces silken tofu (approximately 125 grams)
- 125 grams ground beef
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- Water, as needed
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- Salt, to taste
- Mushroom seasoning, to taste
- Soy sauce (fish sauce alternative), to taste
Instructions:
-
Heat the Oil: Begin by heating the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the crushed garlic cloves. Sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
-
Cook the Beef: Reduce the heat to low to prevent the garlic from scorching. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until it is no longer pink and has changed color.
-
Add Tofu and Simmer: Gently add the silken tofu to the skillet. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
-
Season the Dish: Season with salt, mushroom seasoning, and soy sauce to taste. Adjust the flavors as needed, ensuring that the dish has a well-balanced taste.
-
Thicken the Sauce: Mix the tapioca flour with a little water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the skillet while stirring to thicken the sauce. Continue to cook until the mixture reaches your desired thickness and comes to a boil again.
-
Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors are well combined, turn off the heat. Your Mun Tahu Sapi is now ready to be served. Enjoy this delicious dish with steamed rice or as a flavorful addition to your meal. 😊
