Bean Sprouts with Tofu Recipe
Description
Bean Sprouts with Tofu Recipe highlights firm tofu pieces pan-fried until light brown, paired with crunchy bean sprouts cooked just enough to keep their crispness. The stir-fry uses garlic and scallions for aroma and flavor, combined with soy sauce for seasoning. The tofu's texture contrasts with the slight snap of the sprouts, making each bite balanced. Cooking the tofu first and then quickly mixing in the bean sprouts preserves their freshness and crunch.
The dish is simple and can be served immediately as a light meal or side dish with rice. The oil used for pan-frying also carries the garlic flavor throughout the dish.
To keep the bean sprouts crunchy, avoid overcooking by adding them last and stirring briefly. This preserves both color and texture, ensuring the dish is fresh-tasting and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (230g) bean sprout
- 1 piece tofu cut into rectangle pieces, firm
- neutral cooking oil for pan-frying, generic cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 talk scallion cut into 2-inch lengths
Instructions
- Rinse the bean sprouts with cold running water, drain, and set aside. Remove the roots if desired.
- Heat up a wok and add some cooking oil for pan-frying the tofu. Once the oil is fully heated, pan-fry the tofu until they turn light brown on the surface. Transfer the tofu to a dish lined with paper towels.
- Leave about 1 tablespoon of oil in the same wok, stir-fry the garlic until aromatic, then add the tofu back into the wok for a few quick stirs. Add the bean sprouts, soy sauce, and scallions, and stir for a few more seconds. Dish out and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcook the bean sprouts to maintain their crisp texture.
- Pan-fry tofu until lightly golden for best texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy fresh flavors and crunch.
