Hoisin Tofu Stir Fry



Every western Asian restaurant offers one of those food, you know?

It's not a Teriyaki sauce...

I think it's a kind of American Chinese food.

And if you are wondering what that brown sauce is made from, here is my answer.



Ingredients for the fried tofu

400 g firm tofu (sliced)

A pinch of salt and pepper

1 tbsp neutral oil


Vegetables (A) 3 cups in total

2 mini snack stick carrots

1 large bok choy (stems)

1 small red bell pepper

2 stalks of green onions (light green part)

Zucchini slices (10 cm)

+2 tbsp white wine or rose


Vegetable(B) 1 cup in total

2 stalks of green onions (green)

1 handful bean sprouts

Leafy part of bok choy


👉You could add some authentic Asian ingredients such as

Shiitake ,cloud ear mushroom or jarred bamboo shoot.

But you could just grab about 4 cups of vegetables of your choice.


Ingredients for the stir fry sauce🥣

350 ml warm water

1 tbsp vegetable broth powder

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp hoisin sauce (vegan)

1 tbsp roasted sesame oil

1 tbsp brewer's yeast(d.m.'s)

A pinch of white pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp molasses(or sugar)


Starchy water

STEP1

Ingredients for the stir fry sauce and set aside.


STEP2

Dissolve 2tbsp potato starch in 60ml water and set aside.


STEP3

Warm some oil in a frying pan.

Lay out tofu slices so that they do not overlap.

Fry them each side for at least 3 minutes until golden.

Sprinkle some salt and pepper.

Transfer the fried tofu to a dried plate so that they should stay crispy.


Note:

Don't wash the pan yet. We are going to use this heated pan in the

next step for veggies.


STEP4

Add all the Vegetables(A) in the frying pan.

Cook them over high heat for a few minutes.


STEP5

Add all the Vegetables (B) in the frying pan.

Pour a small amount of wine over the top and cover with a lid.

Steam for 1-2 minutes.

Bring it to a boil.


STEP6

Finally pour the starchy water in the stir fry ,shake the pan to thicken the sauce.



It's done!

Serve it with fragrant Jasmin rice :)
