Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Cut Tofu into Bite-Sized Pieces: Lightly pat the tofu dry with paper towels. Then, cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 2.5cm x 2.5cm. This size is perfect for little ones to eat easily.
Step 2
2. Pan-Fry Tofu Until Golden Brown: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the cut tofu pieces in the hot pan. Once one side is golden brown, carefully flip them over and brown the other sides evenly. Be gentle to prevent the tofu from breaking.
Step 3
3. Prepare the Flavorful Sauce: In a bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, corn syrup (or oligosaccharide), minced green onion, and minced garlic. Mix well to create a delicious sauce.
Step 4
4. Braise Tofu with Sauce: Keep the pan-fried tofu in the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the sauce is absorbed into the tofu. Flip the tofu occasionally to ensure even coating.
Step 5
5. Delicious Soy Braised Tofu is Ready! Once the sauce has thickened and the tofu is glistening, your delicious soy braised tofu is ready. Avoid simmering for too long, as the tofu can become tough. Aim for a nice, syrupy consistency.
Step 6
6. Plate and Enjoy: Nicely arrange the finished soy braised tofu on a serving dish. It has a wonderfully moist and sweet flavor, making it an excellent side for rice! If you prefer a saltier taste for adult palates, you can add an extra tablespoon of soy sauce while simmering.
