Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 250 grams firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1 cm in size. Rinse the cubes in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the tofu into similar-sized cubes as the potatoes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and spread them out in an even layer. Fry for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves.
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tofu cubes. Sear them on all sides for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the tofu and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Return the fried potatoes to the skillet with the tofu. Add soy sauce, paprika, ground black pepper, and the remaining salt. Toss everything gently to coat the potatoes and tofu evenly with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the flavors are well combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the dish before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light meal.
