Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the mung beans thoroughly under cold running water and drain. If they are fresh, no additional soaking is needed.
- Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and then dice into small cubes.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the diced tofu to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown on all sides.
- Stir in the mung beans, mixing well to combine with the tofu, garlic, and onion. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the soy sauce to the skillet, stirring it evenly throughout the mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce if desired.
- Serve the bean sprouts with tofu hot as a main dish or a side dish.
Tips:
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture before cooking. This helps it to absorb flavors better and achieve a firmer texture.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of chili flakes.
- You can garnish the dish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Ensure you stir-fry the bean sprouts quickly to maintain their crunchiness and avoid overcooking.
