About this dish
Dried tofu cut into thin strips does not break up in the pan; it lifts on the chopsticks in strands, like noodles.

Carrot, green pepper and onion cut to the same width make it colorful.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Separate any stuck dried tofu strips, then blanch 220g in boiling water for 2 minutes.
Drain well in a sieve and let the steam escape so the strips do not water down the stir-fry.
- 2
Cut 60g carrot, 80g bell pepper, and 70g onion into 3mm julienne strips.
Keep the width even so the carrot softens, the onion turns lightly translucent, and the pepper stays crisp at the same time.
- 3
Warm the pan over medium-low heat, then add 1 tbsp cooking oil and 1 tsp minced garlic.
Stir for about 20 seconds only, stopping before the garlic browns so the seasoning base stays clean.
- 4
Add the carrot and onion, raise the heat to medium-high, and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
They are ready for the next ingredient when the onion edges look slightly translucent and the vegetables look glossy.
- 5
Add the bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the drained tofu strips and cook 2 more minutes.
If anything starts sticking, lower the heat slightly and keep tossing to protect the strips.
- 6
Pour 1.5 tbsp soy sauce around the edge of the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds so it coats the tofu and vegetables.
Turn off the heat, mix in 1 tsp sesame oil, and serve warm.
