Prepare the ingredients
Tofu is washed clean, then blanched in boiling water for about 1 – 2 minutes, then removed and drained, and then use a knife to cut into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Shallots, garlic, and ginger are peeled, washed, and minced finely. Chili peppers are de-stemmed, and green onions are trimmed of roots and yellow leaves, then chopped small.

Fry the tofu
Place a pan on the stove, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan, and turn on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cut tofu pieces and fry until they are golden brown on all sides.
Remove the fried tofu to a plate and let it drain excess oil.

Make the sauce
Mix the sauce ingredients into a bowl including 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 portion of minced garlic, shallots, and ginger. Next, add chopped chili, chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
Use a spoon to stir well until the ingredients are dissolved and blended together.

Ingredients for Fried Tofu with Soy Sauce and Bell Peppers Serves 4
Tofu 3 pieces Green bell pepper 1/2 fruit Red bell pepper 1/2 fruit Garlic 2 cloves Green onions 1 stalk Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Vegetarian seasoning 1/4 tablespoon Cooking oil 220 ml
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Bell Peppers
- Good bell peppers have smooth, shiny skin, are firm, and have bright, even colors.
- Additionally, when buying, you should choose peppers that still have the stem, feel firm in hand, and have weight proportional to their size.
- Avoid purchasing bell peppers that are soft, have blemishes or cracks on the surface. These are damaged, spoiled peppers that have lost nutrients and will not look good when cooked.
How to Prepare Fried Tofu with Soy Sauce and Bell Peppers

Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the tofu and cut it into small square pieces, about 1 – 1.5 finger lengths on each side.
Remove the seeds from the green and red bell peppers, wash them, and cut them into small square pieces the same size as the tofu pieces.
Peel the garlic, crush it, and chop it finely. For the green onions, trim the roots, wash them, and chop them.
-
Fry the tofu
Place a pan on the stove, add 200ml of cooking oil, heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped tofu and fry until golden brown for about 2 minutes, then turn off the stove and remove the tofu.
-
Stir-fried bell peppers
Add 20ml of cooking oil to the pan, wait until the oil is hot, then add minced garlic and sauté on low heat for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add the diced red and green bell peppers.
Stir-fry for about 1 minute, then add about 80ml of water, and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the bell peppers are just tender and aromatic.
-
Tofu sauce with soy sauce
After stir-frying the bell peppers until just tender, add the fried tofu and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir well for another 2 minutes so that the ingredients mix together evenly, then add 1/4 tablespoon of vegetarian seasoning.
Continue to stir-fry for about 2 more minutes for the tofu and bell peppers to absorb the seasoning, then add chopped green onions. Mix well and turn off the heat.
-
Final product
Fried tofu with soy sauce and bell pepper will have a very eye-catching color when completed, with green, red, and yellow mixed together and exuding the fragrant aroma of sautéed garlic.
Not only that, when you eat, you will feel the delicious golden tofu outside, soft and smooth inside, combined with the sweet and crunchy bell pepper that is not too soft. Eating it with hot, sticky white rice is just perfect, isn’t it?
How to choose delicious tofu without gypsum
- When buying, you should choose tofu pieces that are ivory white, with a smooth surface, not too dry, with good elasticity and a faint aroma of soybeans.
- Do not choose tofu pieces that are dark yellow or turning yellow. They may have been stored for a long time and are not good for health.
- Additionally, you should avoid buying tofu pieces that are too square, feel unusually heavy when held, and have a smell of lime. These may be pieces of tofu mixed with gypsum or coagulants.
