Instructions

 

• 
  Have ready all ingredients needed for this vegetarian beancurd dish.
• 
  Try to use "Teochew taukwa" or "Teochew beancurd", which is a semi-soft beancurd. Otherwise any semi-soft beancurd will do the job.
• 
  Slice each beancurd into 4 equal squares. Be careful not to break the squares.
• 
  Wash, drained well the coriander leaves and cut into long strips, about 1 inch in length. And we're ready to cook the dish!
• 
  Heat up enough oil to fry the pieces of teochew beancurd. Insert a wooden stick into the oil. The oil will bubble around the stick when it's ready for frying.
• 
  When the oil is ready, gently lower the beancurd cubes into the wok.
• 
  Using medium heat, fry the beancurd pieces in batches, turning carefully until lightly golden and is crispy on the outside and cooked throughout.
• 
  When done, dish out the fried beancurd from wok with a strainer.
• 
  Drain the beancurd on paper towel to remove excess oil.
• 
  Then, remove all the oil from wok and heat up the wok. (If using garlic, saute garlic till fragrant)
• 
  Add the pieces of fried teochew beancurd into the heated up wok.
• 
  Sprinkle salt over the fried beancurd cubes.
• 
  Stir fry to mix the salt evenly into the fried beancurd.
• 
  Then, add in the fresh cut coriander leaves.
• 
  Stir to combine everything together, making sure the salt is fully infused and the coriander leaves are well mixed and leave a refreshing taste to the fried beancurd.
• 
  Dish out on plate immediately and serve warm with hot steamed rice. As always, ENJOY!
