Instructions

MONGOLIAN TOFU . And my favorite tofu technique. Inspired by restaurant-style Mongolian Beef!! Did you know this dish actually originated from Taiwan (and not Mongolia)?!🤯 THE RECIPE: 1 block (400 g) medium-firm tofu, twice frozen and thawed 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced 4 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 scallion, segmented 2 dried chilis, seeds removed & chopped 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (I FORGOT) ——————————— 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon water *Technique Note: freezing & thawing tofu creates layers & pockets within the tofu, making it feel much more “meaty.” Full written directions on my website, link in bio!
