Stir-fried green peppers with tofu skin is a quick, versatile, and nutritious dish loved for its crisp-tender textures and umami-rich flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to try:

Ingredients: 2 green peppers (sliced), 100g dried tofu skin (rehydrated and cut into strips), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and 2 tbsp cooking oil.

Steps:

1. Prep the tofu skin: Soak dried tofu skin in warm water for 15 minutes until soft, then drain and cut into bite-sized strips.

2. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

3. Cook tofu skin: Add tofu skin strips and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Drizzle in soy sauce and oyster sauce, mixing well to coat.

4. Add green peppers: Toss in sliced green peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green but remain slightly crisp.

5. Season and finish: Add sugar, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water (if needed). Stir-fry for another minute, then serve hot with rice.

Variations: For extra flavor, add sliced pork, mushrooms, or chili peppers. For a healthier twist, use less oil and more vegetables like carrots or onions.
