Effortless Tofu

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients Serves 2
  • Firm Tofu Momen: 400g (1 block)
  • Long Green Onion Negi: 1 stalk (The white part is sweeter and highly recommended)
  • Oil: Approx. 1 tbsp
  • Salt: 2/3 tsp To prevent the tofu from sticking
  • **[Sauce Mixture]**
  • Water: 120cc
  • Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp
  • Oyster Sauce: 1 tbsp
  • Sugar: 1 tsp
  • Chicken Stock Granules: 1 tsp
  • Potato Starch or Cornstarch: 1 tsp
  • Black Pepper: To taste

Instructions
 

  • **Instructions**
  • **Prep Work:** Cut the long green onion into large diagonal slices.
  • **Make the Sauce:** Place the sliced ​​green onion and all the ingredients for the [Sauce Mixture] into a bowl, and mix well.
  • **Cook the Tofu:** Add oil to a frying pan, heat over medium heat, and then sprinkle the salt evenly across the entire surface of the pan (this helps prevent the tofu from sticking).
  • Transfer the tofu directly from its package into the frying pan.
  • Using a spoon, break the tofu into bite-sized pieces directly inside the pan. Doing this allows the sauce to penetrate the exposed surfaces of the tofu more easily.
  • Sear Both Sides: Cook without moving the tofu until it takes on some color, then flip it over to sear both sides until golden brown.
  • Finishing Touch: Once the tofu is seared, pour in the prepared sauce (containing green onions) all at once.
  • Simply stir-fry briefly until the sauce thickens and the green onions are cooked through—and it's ready to serve!

Notes

Tip:
Sprinkling salt into the pan before cooking helps firm up the firm tofu (momen-dofu), preventing it from crumbling and ensuring a beautifully aromatic finish.
