Stir Fried Smoked Tofu Slices With Garlic Scapes

Stir Fried Smoked Tofu Slices With Garlic Scapes

Introduction:

Garlic scape is a vegetable that I both love and hate at the same time. I love it because it feels good while chewing them. I hate it because there are many old or fibrous parts blended within them. So make sure that you select the tender ones when you are shopping. There are two ways to make your choosing.

The first way is to look. Look at the color at the foot of the garlic scape. If the color is light, then it is what you need. If the color is green, then it is not.

The second way is to break the lower part of the garlic scape with your own hand, if it is allowed. The tender ones are broken without any fiber connecting the skin.

Ingredients:

Garlic scapes: 250 g

Smoked Tofu: 200 g

Seasonings:

Pepper powder: 3 g

Salt: 5 g

MSG: 2 g

Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon

Vegetable oil: 30 g

Preparation Work:

1. Remove the dry tips from the garlic scapes, break the fibrous part away;

2. Wash the prepared garlic scape clean and cut them into pieces with the length of around 3 centimeters;

3. Cut the smoked tofu into slices (or shreds), scald them in boiling water briefly, strain them out and put them on a plate;

Cooking Steps:

1. Pour half of the vegetable oil into the wok and put the wok on high heat or full flame;

2. When the oil gets 70% hot, add the pepper powder and soy sauce in;

3. Add in the smoked tofu slices to the wok;

4. Add a tablespoon of water, and stir the tofu slices until they become separated;

5. Take what’s in the wok out when the liquid in the wok gets dried;

6. Pour the oil left over into the wok on high heat or full flame, and heat it;

7. Drop the garlic scape pieces into the wok when the oil gets 70% hot and stir until they become softened;

8. Pour the prepared smoked tofu slices into the wok;

9. Add in the salt and MSG;

10. Dish out after stirring what is in the wok fully.

Cooking Tips:

1. You can definitely replace the smoked tofu with dried tofu. I like the former better. So I just used it in this recipe.
