Categories     dinner, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 pound firm tofu (bean curd), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Chinese brown bean sauce
2 cups water
4 large ribs bok choy, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon sake or sherry

2 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce
2 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Fresh coriander leaves

Steps:

  • In a wok, heat the oil for deep frying to 375 degrees, or until a piece of scallion placed in the oil bubbles and sizzles rapidly. Pat the tofu cubes dry with a paper towel. Fry the cubes in the oil for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. When the cubes are cool, cut each one in half.

Tips:

- To achieve the perfect crispy texture, ensure your oil is hot enough before frying the bean curd. A good indication is when a chopstick inserted into the oil produces small bubbles. - If you prefer softer bean curd, reduce the frying time or pan-fry it instead of deep-frying. - For a healthier version, consider baking or air-frying the bean curd instead of deep-frying. - Experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, or enoki mushrooms, to add variety to the dish. - Add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or baby corn for a more colorful and nutritious stir-fry. - Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce based on your personal taste preferences. - Serve the stir-fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
