Tofu With Oyster Sauce
This Tofu With Oyster Sauce stir-fry features crispy tofu in a delicious savory sauce. It cooks in under 30 minutes and tastes great with rice and veggies.
Ingredients
Sauce
- ½ cups chicken stock (or water)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Tofu Stir-fry
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (divided)
- 1 block medium-firm tofu
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
For Garnishing
- 1 green onion (sliced)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Cut the tofu into rectangular slabs (about 1.5" x 2") and arrange them on a kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture for 10 minutes. Just before frying, use a paper towel to dab the tops of the tofu to get the last bit of moisture.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Arrange as many tofu pieces as possible in a single layer. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your pan. Cook for each side for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
- Add the remaining one tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 45 seconds until fragrant.
- Give the sauce mixture a mix, then stir it into the pan and cook until it starts bubbling and thickens. Add the tofu back to the pan and gently stir to combine. Be gentle to prevent the tofu from breaking.
- Garnish with green onions and serve immediately with a side of rice! I love pairing this with a side of Chinese veggies or soup.
