Ingredients
One block firm tofu
One small onion diced
One carrot diced
One-half each red, green, yellow peppers
One cup fresh or frozen peas
One-half cup corn
Fresh parsley chopped as a garnish cooked and added raw.
Three cups water
One to two tablespoons soy sauce to taste
Toasted organic sesame oil or any good quality oil about 2 cups
One quarter cup of starch such as Kuzu root powder or organic flour mix with one half water
Chopped scallions for garnish
Drain the tofu to let out excess liquid. This can be done just by putting a weight on top of the tofu block, allowing it drain on to a towel or sink for at least 2 hours. Slice tofu in 1/2 inches. Then cut across on the diagonal making a triangle.
Deep fry in good quality oil until golden brown, drain, rinse. Slice into the center of the tofu to create a triangle pouch. Put in a saucepan with about 3 cups water, bring to boil, add tofu, allow to cook until tofu floats. Lower flame, add soy sauce (choice) simmer.
DO NOT BOIL ONCE SOY SAUCE IS IN - ALWAYS.
This is a bit of a fancy dish, it can have a pretty presentation and can be very tasty.
It is not a beginners recipe because it has many steps.
