What Ingredients Are Used?
Tofu—Using extra firm tofu is important for texture and crispy tofu. Silken tofu cannot hold its shape properly. Wrap the tofu in layers of paper towels or a tofu press. This will release the water content. Lightly dust the tofu with cornstarch. Do not overdo it; otherwise, it will taste starchy. Air fry, bake, or shallow fry the tofu. Vegetables—This recipe can use all colored vegetables, such as broccoli, colored peppers, bok choy, green beans, and snap peas. This recipe features mushrooms and baby corn, which taste great. You can also choose your own vegetables and skip what you do not like. Aromatics and Herbs—Onion, ginger, garlic, and Thai chilies are perfect aromatics for Asian recipes. Cilantro and scallions are the perfect garnish for this. I have used white sesame seeds for additional garnish as well.
Prepping Up-
Chopping and slicing up the vegetables is essential for expediting the cooking process. You can prepare them after washing and drying them. Alternatively, you can buy prepared/chopped/sliced veggies from the superstore.
Can You Use Frozen Vegetables?
Absolutely. You can certainly use frozen vegetables. Use them just like regular veggies. Frozen vegetables release much more water while stir-frying. Cook them a little more so that all the water dries up nicely and your veggies feel crunchy and delicious.
