Instructions
- In a pan, heat canola oil, peanut oil, or vegetable oil over high heat. After 90 seconds, when the oil is hot, stir-fry the tofu and jackfruit for about 7 minutes until it turns golden brown. Remove the contents of the pan with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add another teaspoon of oil, minced onion and garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Combine tamari (or soy sauce), white vinegar, black pepper, and vegetarian oyster sauce. Add this sauce mixture to the sautéed aromatics and stir well to combine.
- Return the fried tofu and jackfruit to the pan along with the sitaw (or green beans), cut in 2 inch/5cm sections. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the sitaw are just slightly tender, but not overcooked.
- Mix together cornstarch and water to form a thin, milky slurry. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan and allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Transfer to an attractive serving dish and garnish with finely minced red onion and scallions or garlic chives.

Notes
- 💧 Dry Your Tofu and Jackfruit: To achieve that golden sear and meaty texture, drain and press the tofu and jackfruit to remove moisture. A tofu press is handy, but a gentle press between kitchen towels works too.

- 🎭 Balancing Flavors: Achieve the ideal balance of savory and tangy by adjusting tamari, white vinegar, and vegetarian oyster sauce to your taste. Start with less soy sauce if you prefer lower salt levels, and adjust gradually.

- Balancing Flavors:
- ⏰ Timely Sitaw Addition: Add sitaw (green beans) as suggested. It's best when slightly tender but not overcooked. You can extend the cooking time if needed for your desired texture.
