Classic Homemade Dish from the Men's Kitchen: Golden and Tender Braised Tofu

Photo & Text /Men’s Kitchen 1+1

Braised tofu is also a common home-cooked dish. First, pan-fry the surface of the tofu until it’s crispy and golden, then braise it to infuse it with flavor. The result is a slightly chewy exterior with a tender, juicy inside. Especially when coated in a savory, sweet, and soy-sauce-infused glaze, it’s irresistible—bite after bite. It’s easy to see why this simple dish is considered a classic among home-cooked meals.

Ingredients:
2 packs of egg tofu
5 cloves of garlic
2 green onions
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
0.5 tbsp rice wine
50ml water (or broth)

Instructions:
1. First, cut the tofu into cubes, then pan-fry until the surface is golden and slightly crispy.(Be patient with this step and fry the tofu until it’s well-colored.)

2. Next, clear the middle of the pan and sauté the garlic and green onion pieces until fragrant.

3. Then add the sugar and stir until it melts.

4. Finally, add the rice wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the tofu is well-seasoned. Done.

Tips
1. Use a bit more oil when frying the tofu, and cook over medium heat to slowly brown it. When flipping the tofu with a spatula, try to “push” rather than stir to avoid breaking it.
2. Adding a little sugar while stir-frying can make the final dish look glossier and enhance the color of the sauce.
3. You can also use regular water tofu or firm tofu instead.

Isn’t this simple home-cooked dish easy? Quickly jot it down and add it to your next meal on the table.
