👨‍🍳 About Dried Tofu

There are different kinds of tofu. The Dried Tofu in this stir fry recipe is pressed tofu soaked in soy sauce, giving it a meaty texture and a slightly salty taste.

It holds up well when cooked for a long time and is great at absorbing the flavors of the other ingredients, making it perfect for stir fry.

You can find this type of tofu at Chinese grocery stores in the tofu section, typically packaged in plastic bags.

♨️ Instructions

Step 1: Crispy Bacon

Step 3: Flavorful Finale

• Add the cooked bacon, leek, tomato, and salt (optional if the bacon is salty enough).

📍Recipe Tips

• Vegetables: Feel free to use any other non-leafy vegetables, such as mushrooms, snap peas, or bell peppers.
• Bacon: Replace bacon with diced ham, or sausages, or leave it out for a vegetarian version.
• Seasonings: Experiment with additional seasonings such as chili flakes, or Chinese soybean paste for different flavor profiles.
