Pairing spicy sweet and sour tofu with white rice makes for a delightful meal.
Let's explore how to make this dish to add to your beloved family's daily menu!
Essential Ingredients for Spicy Tofu (serves 4)
– 600g fresh tofu
– 150g minced pork
– 3 tomatoes
– Several dried shallots
– 2 teaspoons chili paste
– 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 large piece of ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 chili pepper
– Spring onions, cilantro
– Cooking oil, soy sauce, sugar
How to Make Delicious Spicy Tofu
Step 1: Finely chop ginger, dried shallots, garlic, and chili. Heat some cooking oil, add ginger, garlic, chili, and dried shallots to the pan and fry until fragrant. Then, add minced meat and stir-fry until the meat changes color. Once the meat is cooked, transfer it to a separate bowl.
Step 2: Cut fresh tofu into small square pieces about 1.5cm thick.
Step 3: Peel and dice the tomatoes. Add them to the pan and simmer until they become a sauce. Then, add the cooked meat, oyster sauce, and chili paste. Stir well for about 5 minutes to let the ingredients absorb the flavors.
Step 4: Add sugar and soy sauce to the pan and stir for a while. Then, add 45ml of water (half a small bowl) and let it simmer. Once it boils, add the cut tofu. Since tofu is delicate, avoid stirring too much; instead, gently shake the pan to evenly coat the tofu.
Step 5: Finally, add chopped spring onions and cilantro. Season to taste, then turn off the heat and serve.
Spicy tofu with rich, spicy flavors is best served hot with steamed rice. The harmony between tofu and meat will keep you from feeling overwhelmed by this dish.
