Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 blocks firm tofu
- 3 tbsp corn flour
- 3 scallions
Sauce
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by chopping the garlic and spring onion.
- Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Then dry off the tofu by wrapping it with paper towels to remove excess water. Coat the tofu with corn flour, salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing together light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, cornstarch and water. Set the sauce aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add in the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside. Pour away excess oil.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped scallions (white parts) and garlic, then sauté them for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the sauce mixture and cook till it thickens. Pour in the tofu and stir gently to coat everything evenly.
- Garnish with scallions (green parts). Remove from heat and serve!
