Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet or a wok over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the tofu cubes, and cook until all the sides are golden and brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the tofu cubes onto a plate. Set aside.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet or wok over medium high heat.

Add the garlic, ginger and scallions, stirring constantly, and cook until very fragrant, about 40 seconds.

Add the sweet bell pepper strips, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the peppers start to become soft but still crisp.

Stir in the mung bean sprouts, and reserved tofu cubes, and cook about 2 minutes until heated through.

Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, black bean sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar, and stir until mix well.

Cook for another 2 minutes or so, you may adjust the seasonings if desired. Remove from the heat.

Place over a bed of rice and sprinkle the cilantro on top.

Serve warm.

The tofu can be added which was set aside with the bean sprouts before seasoning.Great recipe! Thanks

I'm looking forward to trying this with my home-sprouted sprouts! I have a question; is the soy sauce regular or the dark soy which is sweeter and often used in stir-fries, but much sweeter? Just wondering.

You can use either of the soy sauce. Just adjust the amount accordingly. I used regular sauce, and it came out quite tasty!

I cooked this dish for this evening’s dinner....it was very good, but in the instruction it did not say when to put back the tofu into the skillet. I added the tufo last...but I think the recipe should be updated for those who are brand new cook and does not know much about tufo.

Thanks for pointing it out. The tofu cubes should be added back to the pan with the bean sprouts in the end. Adding it back with the seasonings works too. What is great about stir fries is that it is so versatile and flexible.

The recipe never mentions when to add the tofu back to the wok at all
