WICKED GARLIC TOFU SAUTE



Wicked Garlic Tofu Saute image

Amazingly fast and tasty recipe, very healthy too. Even the husband (not normally a huge tofu fan) enjoys it. I love it with tons of garlic but you can use less if you must. The oyster sauce I don't measure so it's approximate. It's pretty salty so use it to your taste. You could serve it with cooked white rice, but it's just as good plain.

GARLIC GINGER TOFU

From All Recipes. I don't think I would cook this for a full 30 minutes. Update: This works as written, but I think it would be easier to marinate the tofu in the ginger, garlic and soy sauce and then add it to a greased pan. Very tasty though.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor and texture, use extra firm or firm tofu. Extra firm tofu holds its shape better during cooking, while firm tofu has a slightly softer texture. Both types of tofu will absorb the marinade well and become flavorful.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the tofu. This will allow the tofu to spread out in a single layer and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much tofu to the skillet, it will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tofu from burning.
  • Flip the tofu frequently. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly on all sides.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce to the skillet towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the tofu stir-fry immediately. This is when it is at its best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This garlic ginger tofu stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, then cooked until crispy and golden brown. The vegetables are added to the skillet and cooked until tender, then the sauce is stirred in. The result is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this tofu stir-fry with rice, noodles, or your favorite sides.
