How to Make Stir-Fried Onion and Tofu

Stir-fried onion and tofu is a simple, nutritious, and flavorful dish that balances the sweetness of onions with the silky texture of tofu. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it easily at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 medium onion, sliced

- 300g firm tofu, cubed

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional)

- 1/2 tsp sugar

- Salt to taste

- 2 tbsp cooking oil

- Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Lightly fry in oil until golden on all sides, then set aside.

2. Sauté the onion: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add sliced onions and stir-fry until softened and slightly caramelized (3-4 minutes).

3. Combine ingredients: Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the tofu to the wok, then add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt.

4. Simmer and serve: Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot with rice.

This dish is versatile—add chili for heat or bell peppers for extra crunch. Enjoy this quick, healthy meal in under 20 minutes!
