Instructions
-
Fry the Tofu and Tempe: In a large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Carefully add the cubed tofu and tempe, frying them until golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove them from the pan and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Toss in the sliced shallots and garlic, sautéing them until fragrant and golden brown, releasing their delicious aromas into the oil.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the fried tofu and tempe back into the skillet, along with the halved bird’s eye chili. Stir well to combine.
-
Add Seasoning: Pour in the oyster sauce, followed by a splash of water to create a sauce base. Season with salt, sugar, and flavor enhancer to your liking, stirring everything to blend the flavors.
-
Incorporate the Greens: Finally, add the chopped mustard greens and shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir well and cover for a few minutes to allow the greens to wilt and the flavors to meld.
-
Cook Until Done: Let everything cook for another few minutes until the greens are tender and everything is heated through.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or can be enjoyed on its own as a light, flavorful meal.
