Main

Tofu is made by coagulating the Soya milk, somewhat similar to making Paneer by curdling the cow?s or buffalo milk with lemon/vinegar/yoghurt. It is extremely versatile, just like paneer. Here is a simple, quick way of making a side dish.

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup. silken tofu, cut into cubes

  • 1 cup sliced onions

  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil (or 1 tbsp. any cooking oil 1 tbsp. sesame oil)

  • 1-2 clove garlic, chopped/shredded

  • Tofu marinade;

  • 1-2 tbsp. light Soya sauce

  • 1 tsp. chilli sauce or chilli oil, adjust to taste

  • 1 tablespoon corn-starch

  • Salt to taste, if needed

  • Optional additions

  • 2 tbsp. skinless, unsalted, roasted peanuts

  • *You can add a seasonal vegetable like chopped green beans, pok hoi, broccoli etc. to the onions at the end of step 4

Instructions

  1. Press out moisture from tofu by pressing it gently under a heavy plate. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

  2. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl, roll tofu gently in it and leave aside for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Heat oil in a pan, add and stir-fry garlic for a minute or so.

  7. If using peanuts, add and stir them in now.
