Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 300 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 heads baby bok choy
• 3 stalks green onions
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean towel, place it on a plate, and weigh it down with a heavy object for 15 minutes. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables: Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, chop the baby bok choy into quarters, and slice the green onions into 2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create a stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 6

Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and white pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and curl. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper and bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

Step 8

Return the tofu and shrimp to the skillet. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the ingredients, stirring gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
