Sapo Tahu Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Dish:
- 2 blocks of tofu
- 2 carrots
- 2 bunches of bok choy
For the Seasoning:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 shallots
- 5 small chili peppers
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tofu: Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the tofu pieces until they turn golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the carrots into thin rounds and chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Slice the garlic and shallots thinly. Remove the stems from the chili peppers and slice them finely. In the same pan used for frying tofu, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the garlic, shallots, and chili peppers until they release their aroma and become fragrant.
-
Cook the Carrots: Add the sliced carrots to the pan with the aromatics. Pour in about 1/2 cup of water and let it come to a boil. Allow the carrots to cook until they start to soften.
-
Add Seasonings: Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gently add the fried tofu and chopped bok choy to the pan. Stir-fry briefly until the bok choy is wilted and the tofu is heated through. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly, adjusting seasoning to taste.
-
Serve: Once everything is well combined and the sauce has thickened slightly, transfer the dish to a serving platter. Enjoy your Sapo Tahu hot with steamed rice.
