Equipment

  • 1 Wok
  • 1 Frying Pan

Ingredients
 
 

Crispy Tofu

  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 pound Firm Tofu (about 400 - 450 g) sliced in blocks (see picture)

Mongolian Sauce

  • 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce See Note #1
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar

Cornstarch Slurry

  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1/2 Cup Water

Other Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Diced
  • 1 Head Broccoli Florets sliced medium

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 Tablesppon Chilli sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon Spring Onions (green only)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil

Instructions

Crispy Tofu

  • Heat a large flat pan, and add oil.
  • Once the oil is heated, add the sliced tofu, and fry each side till golden brown and crispy.
  • Air Fryer: Coat the tofu in oil, and air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Air fry till crispy.

Mongolian Sauce and Cornstarch Slurry

  • Mix soy sauce and sugar and stir well till sugar dissolves.
  • Add cornstarch to water, and make a slurry.

Putting it all together

  • Heat oil in a wok, and fry the ginger and garlic for about 10-20 seconds on high heat.
  • Add the broccoli and stir fry till the broccoli looks slightly golden brown.
  • Add the Mongolian sauce mix (soy sauce and sugar) and simmer for about a minute.
  • Stir the cornstarch again, and add the slurry to the wok.
  • Simmer till the sauce turns brown. Keep stirring.
  • Toss the crispy tofu in.
  • Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve hot.

Notes

Note #1: Substituting a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce with dark soy sauce, will give your stir-fry a rich darker color.
Note #2: Cornstarch tends to settle down at the bottom even after mixing with water. This is expected. Just use a fork, and give it a good stir just before adding to your stir-fry.
