Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams bean sprouts
- 200 grams extra-firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Instructions
Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the scallions and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and stir-fry until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the tofu and set aside.
In the same pan, add the sesame oil, followed by the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bean sprouts to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Return the tofu to the pan and pour the sauce mixture over everything. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Garnish the dish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein bean sprouts with savory garlic sauce!
