Un clasic savuros din bucătăria Sichuan, pregătit rapid la wok în doar 15 minute: cuburi fragede de tofu învelite într-un sos aromat și picant cu usturoi, ghimbir și ceapă verde, servite alături de orez aromat jasmine.
Preparation method
Ingredient preparation
Drain the tofu block well of excess water by pressing it gently with a paper towel, then cut it into even cubes of about 2 cm.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Thinly slice the chili pepper and spring onion, separating the white part from the green (keep the green leaves for garnish).
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 100 ml of cold water and the soy sauce until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Chef's tip
For an even firmer tofu, blanch the tofu cubes in boiling salted water for 1 minute before cooking — this trick helps them keep their texture intact in the sauce.
Adjust the heat level by removing the chili pepper seeds if you prefer a milder taste.
