Bean Sprouts with Tofu

This bean sprouts with tofu recipe is vegan and vegetarian friendly. It is easy to cook and goes well with almost anything.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bean sprouts
  • 1 piece firm tofu, cut into rectangular pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 stalk scallion, cut into two-inch lengths

Instructions

  1. Rinse the bean sprouts in water, drain, and set aside. 
  2. Heat up a wok and add some of the cooking oil to pan-fry the tofu until they turn light brown on the surface. Transfer them to a dish lined with paper towels.
  3. Add in the remaining oil and garlic to the wok and stir fry until fragrant. 
  4. Add tofu back into the wok, stir, and then add the bean sprouts. 
  5. Add soy sauce, scallions, and do a few more quick stirs. (Note: Bean sprouts should be crunchy and just cooked when served. Do not overcook bean sprouts as they lose the crisp and crunchy texture.)
  6. Plate and serve.
