A delicious Quick Hot-Oil Tofu — Ready in 10 Minutes recipe.


Tear the tofu into rough pieces by hand. Drop into boiling water and remove when the water comes back to a boil the second time.


Prepare sliced garlic, cilantro segments, shredded dried chilies, and julienned scallions. Set aside.

Combine 3 tbsp light soy sauce, ½ tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder, 2 tbsp water, and ½ tbsp sugar in a small pot. Bring to a boil.

Once the sauce bubbles like this, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Set aside.

Arrange cilantro segments around the outer edge of a serving plate. Place the blanched tofu in the center. Top with julienned scallions and sliced garlic. Drizzle the cooled sauce evenly over everything. Sprinkle the shredded dried chilies on top. Heat oil in a pan until very hot, then pour directly over the dried chili strips. Serve immediately!
