Ingredients
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Carrots
- 150 grams Baby corn
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slicing the carrots into thin diagonal pieces, and halving the baby corn lengthwise.
Step 2
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Mince the garlic finely and set it aside.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to boil with a steamer insert. Steam the broccoli, carrots, and baby corn for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and gently pan-fry the tofu cubes until lightly golden on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the sauce.
Step 7
Using the same skillet, pour the sauce mixture in and stir until it thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Gently toss the steamed vegetables and tofu into the sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 9
Cook for an additional 1 minute to blend the flavors, then remove from heat.
Step 10
Serve the steamed vegetables with tofu and oyster-flavored sauce over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
