Ground Tofu Stir-Fry

Ground Tofu Stir-Fry

Ground Tofu Stir-Fry takes a spin on the Thai dish Pad Krapow Gai which is a spicy dish typically made with finely chopped or ground chicken, but in this case, we used extra firm tofu. This dish is delicious and easy to make to your liking, controlling the spice levels to your taste. You could also think outside the box and use this ground tofu stir-fry as a filling for other dishes such as tacos, dumplings, spring rolls, or serve it as a salad with cabbage or lettuce.

Ingredients

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu, drained & ground

  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice (optional)
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp Thai chili flakes or cayenne pepper

  • 1 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • To serve: Cooked rice, cabbage, or lettuce wraps
  • Optional toppings: thinly sliced cucumber, sesame seeds, chopped basil, sriracha

Directions

  1. After draining the tofu’s liquid, crumble the tofu by hand or with a fork in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add in a splash of the sesame oil, soy sauce, or stir-fry sauce, and a dash of each spice to the tofu and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare your vegetables for cooking, toppings, and your serving vessel be it rice or cabbage.
  4. Once everything is prepped, in a large skillet, set heat to high, and add the sesame oil.
  5. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Stir it enough to spread out evenly in the pan but then allow it to sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom begins to crisp slightly.
  6. Then top with the onions and garlic and stir together well.
  7. Add in the remainder of the soy sauce or stir-fry sauce and seasonings.
  8. Then, add the remainder of the vegetables.
  9. Stir together well for about 5-7 minutes, vegetables should begin to soften.
  10. Add in the rice vinegar and stir the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
  11. Continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes until vegetables are tender and onions translucent.
  12. Remove from heat, top with toppings, serve over rice or cabbage and enjoy!
