It's Monday😉 time to meet My Foodies Friends and Hellow to my Steemit Fellows😉
Fried Sweet Tofu aka Tahu Bacem Goreng
Before I start, I would like to let you know that this post is meant to be an entry for #fruitsandveggiesmonday competition, initiated by @lenasveganliving but now hosted by @vegansofsteemit and manage by our lovely Katie @plantstoplanks 😍. In case you don't know what is this all about? Check on this post.
This Sweet Tofu is one of My Husband's Father favourite😊 though he doesn't really like sweet food, but he would never missed out anything from Tofu😂.
It's been sometimes I never made this food for him. So, when I think that He probably getting tired of eating my other chicken or fishes recipes with plain fried tofu, it would be nice to make this for him😊 beside, this can be a good side dish for his coffee while watching the football matches😆
What we need to make it?
- 200 grams Tofu for sure (any types would be fine)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- a thumb size ginger root, minced
- 2 spoonfull corriander powder
- 4 bayleaves
- 50-100 grams palm sugar
- 25-50 ml soy ketchup
- a pinch of salt
- you can add pepper if you like (but I don't)
- a tsp vegeta (but you can skip this if you don't like it)
- 300 ml water (or you can add more till all tofu covered)
How We make it
Throw everything into the pan😊 carefully or you will broke the fragile tofu😊, seasonings and water. Cover the pan with its lid, cook it on low heat till the water drained.
You probably want to check on it because the smell is quite good, you can flip the tofu and do it carefully😉 and add salt or more sugar to the correct taste😉 you want.
When the water has drained, turn off the heat and let it cool before you fry or grill it or serve it the way it is. But I like to fry it with cooking oil or margarine just to make it shiny😊
it is sweet, tasty and meaty😊 I mean it taste like soft meat now😅
FYI, this will be taste better if you use the fresh coconut's water to boil it and this also applicable for Tempe😊 and if you use this recipe to tempe, make sure to stab it with fork before you boil it😉 you can add a piece of cinnamon bark too (but I forgot😂😂😂).
Let me know if you try it😉
