Serve 2
Ingredients
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Inch of ginger, finely chopped
250g firm tofu, cut to bite size cubes
1/2 cup plain flour or corn flour
some cooking oil
pinch salt
pinch pepper
1 medium potato, cut to bite size cubes
11/2 cup water
1 Japanese curry block (I use S&B brand. You can get it from any Asian supermarkets or online stores, see below links)
Spring onion for garnish (option)
Method
- First, cut the tofu to bite size pieces, dry the tofu pieces by using some kitchen paper or clean tea towel. Mix the flour, salt, pepper. Roll each tofu pieces in the flour mixture until well coated.
- In a frying pan, heat enough oil to cover the base of your pan. Shallow fry the tofu pieces for around 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Then transfer them on some kitchen paper to drain off the excess oil.
- Stir-fry the garlic, ginger and onion until soften. Add in the potato pieces and water. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then gentle simmer until potato pieces are tender and easily be pierced with a fork.
- Now add the curry block, stir well, and simmer until broth has thickened. Add in the tofu pieces and mix well. Be careful not to break the tofu too much. Sprinkle some spring onion for garnish if you use.
- Serve with cooked rice. Enjoy!
If you don't like tofu, you can use any vegetables in your fridge. Carrot, bell pepper, mushroom, bean and peas etc.
