Fried Tofu w/ Baby Bok Choy

This entire week, I've been out of my work mode. Sorry, I've been lazy and haven't really cook anything apart from what I've already posted. Always sticking to simple dishes.

Another dish using ingredients found in the fridge.


Cut 4 blocks of firm tofu into bite size pieces.


Add some oil to a frying pan and fry the tofu pieces. Season with a little bit of soy sauce.


My favorite soy sauce, not too heavy.


While the tofu is frying (toss to fry evenly), crush a couple cloves of garlic, mince a small knob of ginger, slice 4 shallots, and match-stick 4 scallions.



Cut the ends to separate leaves of 7 baby bok choys. Wash and drain.


After some minutes, the tofu will be nicely fried and brown. Remove onto a bowl or plate lined with paper towels.


In the same pan, infused shallots, garlic, and ginger in a little oil. Shallots first, then garlic, then ginger.


Add pepper flakes.


Deglaze with soy sauce, water, and a little oyster sauce.


Bring sauce to boil and add in the bok choy, let cook for a couple minutes.


Add scallions and the fried tofu. Serve with rice.
