Green peppers and tofu skin (干豆腐) are a classic Asian pairing, loved for their contrasting textures and savory flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to elevate this dish.
Ingredients:
200g tofu skin, soaked in warm water until soft, then sliced into strips; 2 green peppers, seeded and sliced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp oyster sauce; 1 tsp sugar; ½ tsp sesame oil; vegetable oil for stir-frying; optional: a pinch of chili flakes for heat.
Steps:
1. Prep: Drain and pat dry tofu skin strips. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry garlic until fragrant (30 seconds), then add tofu skin. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly golden.
2. Cook Veggies: Add green peppers, stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until crisp-tender. For extra flavor, splash a tablespoon of water and cover briefly to steam.
3. Season: Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl. Pour over the tofu and peppers, tossing well. Cook for 1 minute until everything is coated.
4. Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil, add chili flakes if using, and stir once more. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
Tips: For a smoky touch, use smoked tofu skin. Adjust sauces to taste—some prefer a dash of vinegar for brightness. This quick stir-fry is versatile; add sliced pork or mushrooms for heartiness. Enjoy this umami-rich dish in under 15 minutes!
