Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Press the block of tofu between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper. This will be the flavorful sauce for your stir fry.

  3. Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add the cubed tofu to the pan in a single layer. Allow the tofu to cook undisturbed for a few minutes until it forms a golden-brown crust. Be gentle when flipping the tofu cubes to prevent them from breaking.

  5. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu in the pan. Gently stir to coat the tofu evenly with the sauce. Allow the tofu to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Let the tofu cook until the sauce thickens slightly and the tofu absorbs the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

  7. Once the tofu is cooked through and coated in the delicious sauce, remove the pan from the heat.

  8. Serve the Vietnamese Stir Fried Tofu with Garlic hot, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.

  9. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice or crispy Vietnamese-style noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
