2. Tofu Preparation: Slice the firm tofu into thin cubes. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and gently fry the tofu until it is golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Sautéing Aromatics: In the same pan, add a little more cooking oil if necessary, then sauté the sliced red shallots, garlic, and red chilies along with the smashed galangal. Cook until the mixture is fragrant and the shallots become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Building the Flavor: Once the aromatics are fragrant, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan. Then, season the mixture with salt, sugar, flavor enhancer, and oyster sauce (if using). Stir well to combine all the flavors.

5. Final Cooking: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the long bean sprouts and fried tofu to the pan, stirring to ensure that everything is well-coated with the sauce. Continue to stir-fry until the bean sprouts are tender yet still crisp, and the tofu has absorbed some of the flavors, about 3-5 minutes.

6. Serving: Once cooked to your preference, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the oseng-oseng kecambah tahu warm, accompanied by steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.

Enjoy this flavorful dish that celebrates the simplicity and deliciousness of Indonesian cuisine, perfect for any day of the week!
