Mama Chan’s Stewed Tofu
Preparation and cooking time - 30 mins
This dish is one of my favorite recipe that my mama makes. It is my comfort food, a northern chinese-vietnamese dish i grew up eating. It is very nutrition with a good source of protein from the tofu. Because there are onions and tomatoes, this could be served over rice as a single course meal or as part of a multi-course meal.
Ingredients
4 blocks of tofu sliced about 1 inch thick
4 medium tomatoes cut into wedges
4 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 medium onion thinly sliced
2 green onions thinly sliced
2 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro leaves
3 tbsp oil, i prefer to use avocado oil
1 tbsp fish sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Add 1 tbsp oil to frying pan on high heat
2. Once oil is hot, add tofu and pan-fried until golden brown
3. Remove tofu aside (maybe need to pan fried 2 different batches)
4. Sauté garlic and onion with oil for a minute
5. Sauté the tomatoes with the garlic and onions
6. Add salt, pepper and fish sauce to the tomatoes mixture and let the tomatoes stew until soft
7. Add the pan-fried tofu to the tomatoes along with the tofu juices and let it simmer under medium heat for 5 mins
8. Remove from pan and sprinkle on onions and cilantro
9. Serve over steamed rice and enjoy!
Helpful tips: This dish is still delicious the next meal if you have left overs.
