Tofu with Black Bean Sauce - 豉汁豆腐 image

Tofu with Black Bean Sauce is one of my go-to dishes for vegetarian/vegan guests, or for the occasional meatless Monday. Trust me, you won't miss the meat.

Provided by Judy

Categories     Tofu

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound firm tofu ((450g))
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
2 tablespoons fermented black beans ((rinsed))
2 scallions ((cut into large pieces, whites and greens separated))
3 dried or fresh red chilies ((deseeded and chopped, optional))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
½ tablespoon light soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch ((dissolved in 2 tablespoons water))

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu into ¼-inch thick squares. Pat each piece of tofu dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
  • Place a clean wok or cast iron skillet over high heat until it just starts to smoke. This is an important step to prevent the tofu from sticking. Turn the heat down to medium, and add 2 tablespoons of oil to coat your pan. Pan-fry the tofu on both sides until lightly golden brown. Turn off the heat, and transfer the tofu to a plate.
  • Over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon of oil to your wok, along with the garlic, black beans, the white parts of the scallions, and the chopped chilies. Depending on how hot your chilies are, as well as your own tolerance for spice, you may want to use more or fewer chilies--or none at all. I used 7 dried chilies, de-seeded.
  • Stir and cook everything for a minute, taking care not to burn the garlic. Add in the tofu, the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar, and the green parts of the scallions.
  • Stir-fry gently so as to not break up the tofu. When the mixture is bubbling, stir your cornstarch mixture to ensure that the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  • Then add it to the wok, stirring gently and quickly until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the tofu. Serve immediately!

Tips for Making a Delicious Tofu Stir-Fry with Black Bean Sauce:

  • Choose extra-firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape better when stir-fried, resulting in a more flavorful and satisfying dish.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This helps to remove excess moisture, allowing the tofu to absorb more of the sauce.
  • Use a non-stick pan or wok. This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking and burning.
  • Heat the pan or wok over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the tofu.
  • Add the tofu to the pan or wok and cook until golden brown. Be sure to stir the tofu frequently to prevent it from burning.
  • Add the black bean sauce and other ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the tofu stir-fry with black bean sauce over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:
