Stir Fry Tofu With Mint Mango And Enoki

Yesterday, I was in the mood do a bit of cooking, actually I felt remorseful becoz my other half had to endured those one dish meal I prepared for him lately :p . So I decided to go back to cooking rice for him, being the staple food for him…haha I can go without rice for a month but he can’t, he is a ‘fun thung ’ meaning he is rice taker :))) So I pan fried a fish ( cuming up in my next post ) and cooked this savoury tofu dish for us.

I have been cooking tofu the same normal way day in day out , either steamed them with fish paste or baked them with toppings but for this time , I stir fried them with mint leaves, mango and enoki with a dash of paprika and chilli flakes with lotz of chopped garlic and olive oil. Well…the beautiful exotic aroma filled the room as I was frying this dish…Daddy ran to the kitchen asking me “ what are you cooking that even Chaco sneezed! ” The garlic blends well with the paprika and chilli flakes powder and when the mint leaves were added into the dish…mamamia! Perfect combo and thus making this bland tofu into a delicious dish. If you love garlic & mint leaves that is…this is one best way to cook the bland tofu.

I used the firm white tofu and some remnant seaweed tofu
to make this dish

this dish can be eaten alone or with hot rice

bland tofu can be turned into a tasty one with lotz of
chopped garlic and paprika and the chilli flakes will make it
spicy....this tofu dish is tasty and aromatic !
