Tofu Stir Fry With Garlic And Scallions

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the tofu. Press the tofu between paper towels or kitchen towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into cubes and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Add the cubed tofu to the pan, spreading it out into a single layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow it to develop a golden crust.

5. Gently flip the tofu cubes to brown on the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to break the tofu while stirring.

6. Once the tofu is evenly browned, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender.

7. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables in the pan. Toss everything together until well-coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

8. Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. If you prefer a bit of heat, you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes at this point.

9. Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the tofu stir-fry with additional chopped scallions for a pop of freshness.

10. Serve the Tofu Stir Fry with Garlic and Scallions hot over steamed jasmine rice or noodles. This dish is versatile and pairs well with a side of stir-fried vegetables or a simple cucumber salad. Enjoy the vibrant colors, textures, and flavors in this delicious Vietnamese-inspired tofu dish. It's a perfect meal for busy weeknights and guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds with every bite.
