Stir-fried bean sprouts with tofu
Background
This vegan, stir-fried bean sprouts with tofu recipe can be ready within 15 minutes - ideal for busy or lazy days. It’s very filling if you just serve it with rice or noodles - but it can also fit in as part of a Chinese style menu.
Ingredients
- 280g firm tofu
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 cm piece of ginger
- 1 red chilli
- 1 bunch of spring onions
- 400g beansprouts
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp of sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp of rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, optional
- Groundnut oil to cook
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into 2 cm cubes.
- Finally chop the garlic, ginger and chilli. Thinly slice the spring onions (including most of the green parts).
- Heat a Tbsp of groundnut oil in a wok. When it starts smoking, add the tofu and carefully stir-fry until golden all over. Transfer the tofu onto a plate lined with kitchen paper towel.
- Clean out the wok, then heat a Tbsp of groundnut oil. When hot, add the ginger, chilli and garlic and stir-fry for a minute. Add the beansprouts and most of the spring onions, then stir-fry for 3 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce and rice wine. Stir-fry for a minute, then turn down the heat and put a lid on. Let it steam for a couple of minutes, until the beansprouts have just wilted but they still have a bite.
- Stir in the sesame seeds (if used) and sesame oil, then return the tofu. Gently combine.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles, garnished with the remaining spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
