Instructions

SautΓ© the garlic:
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the crushed garlic cloves and sautΓ© until fragrant, ensuring not to burn the garlic by lowering the heat if needed. -
Cook the minced beef:
Reduce the heat slightly to avoid burning the garlic. Add the minced beef to the pan and sautΓ© until it changes color, ensuring that the beef is cooked evenly. -
-
Add the tofu and water:
Carefully add the silky tofu into the pan. Pour in enough water to just cover the tofu and beef mixture. Let it simmer until the water reaches a boil. -
Season the dish:
Once the mixture is boiling, add salt, mushroom seasoning, and fish soy sauce to taste. Stir the ingredients well and taste the dish to ensure the flavor is balanced. -
Thicken the sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the tapioca flour with a little water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the pan while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens. -
Serve:
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency and everything is well-cooked, turn off the heat. Serve the Mun Tahu Sapi warm, and enjoy this comforting dish!
Notes
- Tofu texture: Silky tofu (tahu sutra) is delicate, so handle it gently during cooking to avoid breaking it apart.
- Seasoning: Adjust the salt, mushroom seasoning, and fish soy sauce according to your preference to achieve the perfect savory flavor.
- Tapioca slurry: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add more tapioca slurry. For a thinner sauce, reduce the amount of tapioca flour.
