Cơm Đậu Hũ Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped lemongrass. Add the tofu cubes and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Stir-Fry the Tofu

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and stir-fry the marinated tofu until golden brown on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Serve the cooked rice topped with the stir-fried lemongrass tofu. Garnish with chopped green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
