Cooking StepsHow to cook Stir-fried Soybean Sprouts with Fried Tofu Strips step by step
-
Step 1Heat oil in a wok until about 70% hot. Cut the firm tofu into thick slices and fry over low heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. You can also use store-bought fried tofu instead.
-
Step 2Cut the fried tofu into strips. Wash and julienne the green pepper and carrot (red pepper works even better). Rinse the soybean sprouts. Cut scallions into segments, keeping the white and green parts separate. Slice the garlic. Cut the bird’s eye chilies into rings.
-
Step 3Heat the wok with cool oil. Add the bird’s eye chilies, garlic slices, and scallion whites. Stir-fry until fragrant (don’t use high heat).
-
Step 4Add the soybean sprouts and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 5Add the julienned carrot and green pepper. Toss to combine evenly.
-
Step 6When the soybean sprouts have softened slightly, add the tofu strips.
-
Step 7Toss everything together, then season with salt, chicken bouillon, and optionally a pinch of thirteen-spice powder.
-
Step 8After 1 minute, add water to cover about half the ingredients. Simmer over medium-high heat for a bit.
-
Step 9Add a small amount of oyster sauce. If you prefer a darker color, add a splash of dark soy sauce, but it looks great without it too.
-
Step 10When the sauce has almost reduced, add the scallion greens and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
