Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp cooking oil, divided (canola or vegetable)
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 300 grams hard/firm tofu, cut into cubes
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 10 pcs young corn (canned), cut into bite size
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Kecap manis
  • soy sauce or fish sauce to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper

Optional

  • toasted garlic
  • chilli flakes

Instructions

  • Remove excess water out of the tofu by placing 2-3 paper towels under and over it. Gently press it down with your palm or put a canned good to squeeze out the extra water. Leave it for a few minutes.
    Then cut it into cubes.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat and add 2 tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, fry the tofu cubes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  • Add 1 tbsp oil and stir-fry the garlic and onion for 1 min.
  • Put the fried tofu back in the pan. Add the young corn. Stir in the oyster sauce, kecap manis, and soy sauce. Add some freshly ground black pepper and stir.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer and slightly thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Serve hot with a sprinkle of chilli flakes or toasted garlic, if desired.
