  3. Fermented black bean sauce - 2 tsp
  4. yellow Onion - 1 sliced think
  5. Tomato - 1 cubed ( remove the seeds and juice into the sauce mixture, this is only for visual appeal it doesn't change the taste or consistency)

  9. Oil - 3 tbsp

Shallow fry the tofu in 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and keep aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir fry the garlic until light brown.
Add in the carrot slices and saute for a minute.

  2. I have a few Tofu recipes that are very easy and taste good . I will post those soon . I also started cooking with tofu only recently , my family is strictly non vegetarian :) To get them to eat veggies I try out new stuff.Since Tofu is pretty bland it really soaks up any flavours that you use.

  5. Hey Pali , I added Snowpeas just because I had some in the fridge. You can leave it out or add something else instead ,it really doesnt change the taste,maybe just the appearence - you could use green bell pepper instead.
