Sweet and Spicy Chicken Tofu Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
- 1/4 kg chicken, diced
- 1 block tofu (fried until half-cooked), cut into small pieces
- 3 shallots
- 1 garlic clove
- Chilies, to taste
- 1 small tomato
- Salt, to taste
- Brown sugar or granulated sugar, to taste
- Cooking oil, for sautéing
- Green onions, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preparation: Start by finely slicing the shallots, garlic, chilies, and tomato.
- Sautéing: Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots, garlic, chilies, and tomato to the pan and sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the tomato softens.
- Sweetness: Incorporate the brown sugar into the pan and allow it to melt and caramelize with the other ingredients.
- Chicken and Tofu: Add the diced chicken and the half-cooked tofu to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the aromatic base. Pour in a small amount of water to help the flavors penetrate the chicken and tofu.
- Seasoning: Season the dish with salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more water to ensure the sauce can thicken properly.
- Simmer: Let the dish simmer until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken and tofu, ensuring the flavors are well combined.
- Finishing Touches: Turn off the heat. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh burst of flavor.
