1. Ingredients for making tofu with scallions

5 pieces of tofu
60g green onions
35ml fish sauce
20g sugar
3g MSG
a little cooking oil

2. How to make tofu with scallions

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

First, wash the tofu and cut it into pieces about 1.5cm thick. Then, remove the roots of the scallions, wash them, and chop them into small pieces about 0.5cm long.

Step 2: Prepare the dipping sauce for the peanuts.

Add the chopped scallions to a bowl along with 2.5 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of MSG, and 7 tablespoons of water. Then stir well until all the ingredients are dissolved.

Step 3: Fry the beans

Place a pan on the stove and add a sufficient amount of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu pieces one by one and fry them.

While frying, turn the tofu over to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown. Then, remove the fried tofu and quickly place it into the prepared bowl of fish sauce and scallion mixture. The hot tofu will help remove the pungent taste of the scallions.

Step 4: Completion

3. Notes when making tofu with scallions

To make delicious tofu with scallions, you need to choose good quality tofu. You should select pieces that are off-white in color, dry but elastic and smooth; avoid buying tofu that is too soft or too hard or slimy.

You should buy white tofu and fry it yourself, instead of buying pre-fried tofu.

When choosing scallions, opt for those with small bulbs and thin stems, as these will cook quickly and won't be too pungent. Additionally, select fresh, vibrant green scallions that are firm, undamaged, and have their roots intact.

To prevent the tofu from breaking apart while frying, you can gently roll it in batter beforehand, avoiding crushing the tofu.

When frying, heat the oil until very hot, then reduce the heat to medium before adding the tofu. Do not fry for too long, as this will make the tofu dry and hard. If you have a large quantity of tofu, fry it in batches, making sure the pieces don't stick together or that there are too many of them.

With the fish sauce and onion mixture, you can adjust the proportions according to your family's taste and regional preferences.

When enjoying this dish of tofu with scallions and oil, you'll experience the crispy tofu on the outside and creamy on the inside, perfectly combined with the rich, fragrant fish sauce and scallion oil.

Tofu with scallions is a familiar dish in many families because of its simplicity and appeal. With the simple yet delicious recipe above, you now have another tasty dish for your family to enjoy.

I wish you success!
