Tomato Braised Tofu Cooking Tutorial, Low Fat Home Cooking

Hello everyone. Today we use tofu and tomatoes to share a delicious home cooked dish. It goes great with rice. Follow my method. The tofu will be crispy on the outside and tender inside. It absorbs all the tomato sauce. It tastes super appetizing and pairs well with rice. Follow the video to learn how to make it. Choose ripe tomatoes when you buy them. Ripe tomatoes have a richer flavor. They taste more fragrant. Next we peel the tomatoes. Prepare some green onions. Chop the white parts into minced green onions. Cut the rest into two centimeter sections. Put them aside for later use. Now cut the ingredients. Cut the tomatoes in half. Remove the hard core in the middle. You can see my tomatoes are quite ripe. There is almost no hard core inside. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces. Put the tomato pieces in a bowl and set aside. All ingredients are ready. Now we start cooking. Heat some oil in a pan. Add the tofu and pan fry. Do not flip the tofu right after adding it. Turn to medium low heat and fry slowly. Fry one side until fragrant. Do not rush when frying tofu. Fry it slowly. High heat will easily burn the tofu. Keep the heat medium low and fry gently. Fry the bottom until a crispy crust forms. The crispy crust is also called the caramelized layer. It creates a wonderful texture, making the tofu crispy outside and tender inside. It will taste more fragrant. Shake the pan gently from time to time. Make sure the tofu heats evenly. Fry the bottom until golden and crispy. Then flip the tofu over. The flipped side is golden brown. It looks very appetizing. Keep frying on medium low heat after flipping. Fry both sides until they look like in the video. Do not fry the tofu too old. Over fried tofu will not be smooth and tender. Fry to this level is perfect. Take the tofu out and set aside. Leave a little oil in the pan. Add the chopped green onion whites. Stir fry slowly on low heat. Fry the green onions until fragrant. Add the tomato pieces. Turn to medium heat. Stir fry continuously. Cook the tomatoes until they release juice. Stir fry the tomatoes for about two minutes. Add an appropriate amount of boiling water. Bring the soup to a boil. Now we season the dish. Add three grams of salt. Add five grams of chicken bouillon and three grams of sugar. A little to enhance freshness. Add a small amount of light soy sauce. Put the fried tofu back into the pan. Arrange the tofu with a spatula. Let the tofu soak in the soup. Simmer the tofu for a while. Let the tofu absorb the flavor. Tofu is not easy to absorb taste. To make flavorful and tasty tofu, simmer it in the soup for a while. That makes the tofu really delicious. Many people rush to serve after seasoning. That is why their tofu has no flavor. Simmer the tofu for about three minutes. The soup will reduce a lot. Now we thicken the sauce. Add starch water and shake the pan quickly or spread it with a spatula. Let the starch water dissolve fully. Thicken the tofu two to three times. The first time locks in the soup. The second and third times make the sauce cling to the tofu. Only then can the tofu hold the thick sauce. Add the remaining green onion sections. Add a little cooking oil. Stir gently with a spatula. Mix everything evenly. Stir until the green onions are cooked. The smell is very appetizing. It looks super delicious. The green onions are cooked after about 30 seconds. We can serve the dish now. Turn off the heat and transfer to a plate. Enjoy the delicious food. A fragrant tomato braised tofu is finished this way. Follow my method. The tofu is crispy outside and tender inside. It fully absorbs the tomato sauce. One bite is super appetizing and goes great with rice. If you like this dish, save the recipe. Try making it another day. That's all for today's video.
