A budget-friendly and easy recipe that replaces potatoes in German potato with tofu. Use the microwave for quick draining, then stir-fry the fragrant tofu with bacon and onions in a seasoned sauce. This is a perfect Western-style dish that works as a side or an appetizer.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 block (300g) Firm Tofu
  • 1/2 Onion (120g)
  • 2 slices Ham Bacon

Seasonings

  • [A] 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine)
  • [A] 1 tsp Granulated Consommé
  • [A] 1 tsp Grated Garlic
  • A pinch of Dried Parsley
  • A pinch of Salt
  • Coarse Black Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Thinly slice 1/2 onion (120g).
  2. Cut 2 slices of ham bacon into 5mm wide strips.
  3. In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tsp Granulated Consommé, and 1 tsp Grated Garlic to create the seasoning sauce.
  4. Wrap 1 block (300g) Firm Tofu in a double layer of paper towels, place on a heatproof dish, and microwave for 3 minutes to drain. [Key Tip!] Microwaving speeds up the draining process. You can also place a weight on it for about 30 minutes. Draining thoroughly helps achieve a nice sear and prevents the tofu from breaking apart.
  5. Cut the drained tofu into bite-sized pieces, about 12 portions.
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and arrange the cut tofu pieces.
  7. Pan-fry the tofu until the bottom is golden brown and seared.
  8. Once browned, flip the tofu and push it to one side of the pan.
  9. Add the sliced ham bacon and onion to the empty space in the pan. Stir-fry while searing the other side of the tofu. Adjust oil as needed.
  10. Stir-fry until the onions and bacon are softened and the tofu is browned on both sides.
  11. Mix the prepared seasoning sauce well and pour it into the pan. Stir everything together to coat evenly. [Key Tip!] Mixing the seasonings beforehand ensures the flavor is distributed uniformly.
  12. Season with a pinch of dried parsley and a pinch of salt.
  13. Stir everything together and transfer to a serving plate.
  14. Garnish with coarse black pepper to taste and serve. Enjoy!
