Instructions
-
Prepare the Broccoli: Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Fry the Tofu: In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5–7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
-
Make the Spice Paste: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, combine the bird’s eye chili peppers, shallots, and garlic. Grind or blend until a smooth paste forms.
-
Sauté the Spice Paste: In the same skillet used for the tofu, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the spice paste over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
-
Add Tofu and Mushrooms: Add the fried tofu and oyster mushrooms to the skillet. Stir gently to combine with the spice mixture.
-
Season the Dish: Pour in the oyster sauce and sprinkle with salt. Mix well, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
-
Incorporate Broccoli and Chili Peppers: Gently fold in the blanched broccoli and the sliced red chili peppers. Stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is well-mixed and heated through, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy this vibrant stir-fry hot, either as a main or side dish.
