Ingredients

  • 10 pieces of tofu, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 kg of bean sprouts
  • 4 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 shallots, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Water, as needed for the sauce
  • Seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting the tofu into small, bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

  2. Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the green chilies, and mincing both the garlic and shallots.

  3. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, shallots, and chopped green chilies. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and slightly golden.

  4. Add a small amount of water to the pan to prevent the spices from burning, creating a base for the sauce.

  5. Gently add the tofu cubes to the pan, followed by the bean sprouts. Stir well to combine, ensuring the tofu and sprouts are coated with the sautéed spices.

  6. Season the mixture with salt and your preferred seasoning. Adjust the quantity according to your taste preferences.

  7. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors and the bean sprouts to become tender.

  8. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  9. Once everything is well-cooked and seasoned to your liking, remove from heat and serve hot.
