Main Stir-fry

Optional Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Press tofu to remove excess moisture for at least 20 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Slice pickled red chillies and chop green onions. Mince garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Pan-fry the tofu

    Heat 1 tbs of vegetable oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and pan-fry until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8–10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook chick'n

    In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tbs oil. Add plant-based chick'n strips and cook for 3–5 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

  3. 5

    Make the stir-fry

    Lower heat to medium. In the same pan, add garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and pickled chillies. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Return tofu and chick'n to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Add green onions and toss well.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if desired. Pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
