Hello everyone! This time, the recipe I'd like to share is how to prepare delicious fried stuffed tofu with vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 5 pieces of fried tofu
  • 3 mushrooms (cut into small cubes)
  • Half a carrot (cut into small cubes)
  • Half a red bell pepper (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • A pinch of salt

Ingredients needed to make the tomato sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 fresh green chili (thinly sliced)
  • 2 stalks spring onion (thinly sliced)
  • 3 tomatoes (thinly sliced)

  • 3 tablespoons Ketchup sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • A pinch of ground pepper and a pinch of salt

Step-by-step preparation method

1. Using a sharp knife, cut open the fried tofu and scoop out the tofu flesh from inside.

2. Put the scooped-out tofu flesh into a bowl. Add the mushrooms, carrot, bell pepper, fish sauce, sugar, and salt, and mix well until evenly combined. Then mash it with a fork until it becomes a paste-like filling.

(You can add more fresh green chili if you like, and you can also add other vegetables.)

3. Put the resulting filling back into the tofu. (Please be careful so that the tofu doesn't break apart.)

4. Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed tofu and fry each side for about 5 minutes.

Transfer the fried tofu to a plate.

5. To make the tomato sauce, add another 2 tablespoons of oil to the same pan. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, chili, and spring onion, and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.

Then add the tomatoes and let it simmer for about 8 minutes. Once the tomato liquid has thickened, add the ketchup, sugar, and fish sauce, and let it simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes.

6. Then add the stuffed fried tofu into the tomato sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Then flip to the other side and simmer for another 3 minutes.

And there you have it—a delicious stuffed tofu with tomato sauce dish is ready.
