Ingredients
Scale
1 block firm or extra-firm tofu
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons neutral oil
2 stalks scallion, chopped
1 medium shallot or red onion, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, Chinese black vinegar, soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, water, and corn starch. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the white parts of the scallions for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add diced shallots and red bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes.
Pour the prepared soy garlic sauce into the skillet, stirring gently. Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Introduce the tofu balls into the sauce, coating them well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Spoon the Soy Garlic Tofu Balls onto a serving platter and garnish with green parts of the scallions, best enjoyed warm.
