About Tofu

In short, tofu which is also known as bean curd, made from soy bean curds. It is pressed in to solid white blocks.

I like to think of it in the following analogy: Cheese is to Dairy Milk as Tofu is to Soy Milk!

This is because cheese is made when milk separates into curds and whey, and tofu is made when soy milk separates into curds and whey.

What type of tofu to use?

There are different tofu including various tofu firmness, and also fermented tofu, tofu skin, fried tofu and more! For this recipe you should use your regular or firm tofu. If you use silken, it will be too soft.

How to cook tofu with tomato?

First gather your ingredients:

3 medium tomatoes, cut in the wedges
1 package tofu, cut in to 1 inch cubes
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp rice cooking wine (michiu)
2 tbsp of water
Salt, to taste
1 tsp of sugar
2 green onions, chopped

Remove tofu from package carefully and place on a plate. Using a knife, cut it horizontally, vertically and on the sides so they are 1 inch cubes.

Heat a wok or large cooking pan on medium high. Add cooking oil and tomatoes.

Stir fry until tomatoes start to soften, and add tofu to wok/pan carefully.

Add salt to taste, sugar, rice cooking wine, and water, and then carefully stir fry everything for about 5 minutes or until tomato is soften completely.
