Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tofu:
   Begin by cutting the yellow tofu into small cubes. Once cubed, coat each piece generously with the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat and carefully fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:
   In the same pan, using the residual oil, add the sliced shallots and garlic. Sauté them over medium heat until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Then, introduce the chopped red chilies and continue to sauté for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

3. Season the Base:
   Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, and a splash of oyster sauce, stirring well to combine. Gradually add a small amount of water to create a sauce, allowing it to simmer gently.

4. Incorporate the Greens:
   Add the mustard greens to the pan, stirring to ensure they are coated in the sauce. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, or until the greens are tender and the water has reduced slightly.

5. Combine with Tofu:
   Gently fold in the fried tofu cubes and the sliced spring onion. Cook everything together for another 2–3 minutes, ensuring the tofu absorbs the flavors of the dish.

6. Serve:
   Remove the pan from heat and transfer your Tahu Cabe Garam to a serving dish. This dish is best enjoyed warm, paired with a bowl of steaming rice.
