A Vegetarian Recipe for the Vege lovers!
Hello Steemians! Besides having a flair for jewellery, I also love cooking. I don’t like spending too much time in the kitchen, yet I believe the cooking process has to be a conscious act as it effects the food (energy wise) and the person who consumes it. We often say ‘nothing like mum’s cooking’ and that’s because the food is prepared with much LOVE!
So here is my basically cheap, quick, simple and delicious Vegetarian Tofu Stir Fried recipe.
Things to prepare
- Tofu – about 5 to 7 pieces
- 1 large onion (optional)
- 4 to 5 cloves of garlic
- about an inch piece of ginger
- 3 bird’s eye chilly. (cili padi)
- 4 tablespoons of oil
- 3-4 tablespoons of vegetarian oyster flavoured sauce
- 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce (kicap manis)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (kicap masin)
- 1 teaspoon of corn flour mixed with some water (7 tablespoons of water)
- A teaspoon of seseme oil
- Black pepper and Salt to taste
- Garnish with salads
Firstly, cut the tofu into tiny squares. Heat the wok and add oil. Once the oil is heated, sprinkle some oil into the oil. (you will hear some crackling sound) then add the tofu and lightly fry them. While that’s frying, chop the onion and pound the ginger, garlic and chilly. Take the tofu out and keep aside,
I usually use very little oil. With the remaining oil, throw in the chopped onion and the pounded garlic, ginger and chilly. Once the mixture is cooked, throw in the fried tofu and add the sauces (oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce and soy sauce). Give it a few stir before adding the corn starch mixture. I added some freshly grounded black pepper as I love the heat from it. You can add a dash of salt if you wish! Lastly pour in the seseme oil and give it a stir.
Garnish your bowl with salads and put in the mixture. Yumm! All done in 20 min. you can serve with hot white rice.
