Asian Garlic Tofu

Asian Garlic bean curd cooks up crisp with a lot of salty, sweet, and spicy flavor. Serve with broccoli and rice for a fabulously delicious eater meal.

My girl has been a eater for two years. or even it's been three years. I can’t even bear in mind. each currently and so i favor to share a number of her favorite things to eat like Orange Cauliflower and eater BBQ Nachos.

She doesn’t like beans thus bean curd may be a major supply of supermolecule for her. I really like to cook with bean curd and eat it similarly. i really like that it's a awfully neutral flavor that lends itself to being paired with every kind of seasonings and ingredients.

It’s arduous to induce bean curd crisp however it's doable if you begin with super firm bean curd and wrap it in paper towels (lots of them) and set one thing significant on high. i exploit a forged iron pan (they area unit thus handy!) The longer you let it sit, the better. And replace the paper towels a couple of times. they'll get fully wet.

One more trick to crisp bean curd is cookery it in an exceedingly forged iron pan and heating it well before you add the bean curd. Move the bean curd around as very little as doable. I let it get a pleasant sear on very cheap and so flip the items and allow them to get a sear on a second facet.
