How to Make Sweet and Sour Stir-fried Tofu

• 1

  Prepare Ingredients

  You can buy tofu from the market or convenience stores, where tofu is pre-packaged. When you buy it, you should rinse it with clean water or boiling water for the pre-packaged tofu pieces. After that, let it drain and cut it into bite-sized square pieces.

  Red onion, bell pepper, tomato, and cucumber should also be washed and cut into even square pieces. Uniformly cut ingredients will make the dish more appealing.

  Cooking

  First, place a pan on the stove, add a little cooking oil and minced garlic to sauté until fragrant. Then, add the ingredients one by one, starting with the shallots to reduce the pungent smell, followed by bell peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers, stir well, and finally add the tofu.

  When the ingredients are cooked to a moderate level, begin to season with 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and add 70ml of water to help dissolve the seasonings. After seasoning all the ingredients, stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed, and stir for another 2 – 3 minutes before turning off the heat.
