Spicy Celery Tofu

Overview

Adding celery to Mapo tofu turns it into spicy celery tofu with endless aftertaste. Celery and dried bean curd go well together, but I didn’t expect that it also goes well with tofu.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the raw materials and choose soft tofu.

   

2. 2 Cut celery into sections, about three centimeters long.

   

3. 3 Chop onions, ginger and garlic.

   

4. 4 Cut tofu into cubes.

   

5. 5 Heat oil in a pan, add onion, ginger, garlic, bean paste and pepper and stir-fry.

   

6. 6 Pour in the celery and stir-fry quickly, then add the light soy sauce and sugar. Since the bean paste itself is salty, there is no need to add salt. If it has a strong taste, you can add a little more.

   

7. 7 Add the tofu, cover the pot and cook over high heat for 15 minutes.

   

8. 8 Add starch to thicken the sauce, collect the juice, and serve on a plate.
