One of my closest friends is pescatarian and loves to make recipes with bean curd. This recipe was inspired by her because I keep telling my mom about these “weird brown soy cubes” that my friend was feeding me during first year of university.

This is super simple. If I can do it , you can too.

INGREDIENTS

• 350 grams of bean curd (1 pack)
• 700 g pack of tofu
• 1 ½ whole garlic
• 2 green onions
• 1 red chili pepper depends on preference
• 1 pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Using a grater or blender ( I’m lazy to wash an entire blender. I would suggest a grater ,but my mom said both works 🙂 ) to crush 1 1/2 whole garlic. In a pan, add some oil and pan fry 1 whole garlic until golden brown. Mix the cooked garlic with raw garlic. The key is to use both cooked garlic and raw garlic for extra “garlicy” goodness. Even though, it is the same thing it brings out their own unique tastes.

Next, chop the green onions and chili peppers. Slice the bean curd and tofu into even slices. In a small bowl, mix the green onions and chili peppers with the garlic mixture. Place 1/4 of the mixture on a plate to prepare for steaming. Organize the slices of bean curd and tofu like a pattern. ( shown in picture below)

Pour the rest of the garlic, green onion and chili pepper mixture on top. Steam on high heat for 10 minutes. Our household personally uses the Cusinart 2 in 1 Steam Oven. The only downside is to find the perfect plate to find oven. Now you’re done ! If you’re vegetarian , consider trying our Bean Curd Curry Recipe!
