  • 1 inch ginger, finely julienned
  • 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 stalk spring onion, chopped

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 120 ml vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)

Other

  • 150 g shelled edamame
  • 45 g preserved turnip (chai poh), finely diced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu. Gently blanch the silken tofu in hot water for 2-3 minutes to firm it up slightly and remove any raw taste. Carefully remove and drain.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and julienned ginger, stir-fry until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Preserved Turnip and Edamame. Add finely diced preserved turnip and shelled edamame to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Braise the Tofu. Gently add the blanched tofu cubes to the pan. Pour in vegetable broth, vegetarian oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Thicken the Sauce. Stir the cornstarch slurry and slowly add it to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve. Carefully transfer the braised tofu to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped spring onion and serve immediately with steamed white rice.
