Fried Tofu with Mushroom

I am using the firm tofu for my recipe. Although drained and pressed, the tofu still retains a lot of moisture making the texture quite spongy, similar to that of a firm custard. Tofu is made from soybeans and is rich in proteins, a main ingredient of the vegetarian diet.


3 pieces white tofu,sliced
I packet enoki mushroom, cut off the roots
1 tablespoon carrot, shredded
1 teaspoon dried shrimp
2 spring onions, cut into 1 inch length
1 teaspoon ginger, shredded
2 shallots, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoon oil
salt, pepper, sugar, water

1. Heat oil in the wok and toss fry the tofu till golden brown.
2. Drain and dish out.
3. Saute the ginger, dried shrimp and shallots first, then the chopped garlic till fragrant.
4. Fry the carrot for a minute.
5. Add the enoki mushroom and stir fry with some salt.
6. Stir in oyster sauce, pepper, water and a sprinkle of sugar.
7. Bring gravy to boil.
8. Mix in the fried tofu and spring onions.
9. Serve hot.

This dish seems to be quite a regular feature in my weekly menu as the hubby loves it.
