Ingredients
- 500 g bean curd (tofu) skins
- 2 - 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 2 - 3 tsp sugar, or to taste
- 250 ml (1 cup) hot water
- vegetable oil, for pan-frying
- 1 handful coriander sprigs
- 1 long red chilli, halved lengthways and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Separate the bean curd skins and pat dry with paper towel.
- Place the soy sauces, sugar and hot water in a bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, heavy-based non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the bean curd skins in batches on both sides until lightly browned.
- Return all the bean curd back to the pan, pour over the sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until there is very little liquid left. Transfer to a serving dish, scatter with coriander and chilli and serve.
