Chinese Scallion-Braised Tofu (葱烧豆腐)

Ingredients:
• 14oz (about 400g) tofu (broken into chunks by hand)
• 3 tbsp oil (for pan-frying the tofu)
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce (for umami flavor)
• 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce (for color and deeper flavor)
• 1/4 tsp five-spice powder (optional, for extra aroma)
• 1/2 cup (120ml) water
• 1 tsp cornstarch + 3 tbsp water (mixed to form a slurry)
• 2 scallions (cut into sections, separate the white and green parts)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Pan-fry the tofu
1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok over medium-low heat.
2. Add the tofu chunks and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the sauce (rich color and perfect consistency)
3. In a small bowl, mix together:
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce (for deeper color)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp five-spice powder (optional)
• 1/2 cup (120ml) water
• 1 tsp cornstarch + 3 tbsp water (mix separately as a slurry)

3️⃣ Sauté the aromatics
4. Add 1 tbsp oil to the wok, then sauté the minced garlic and scallion whites until fragrant.
5. Return the pan-fried tofu to the wok, stirring briefly to absorb the aroma.

4️⃣ Add sauce and thicken
6. Pour in the prepared sauce, stirring to coat the tofu evenly.
7. Let it simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
8. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, mixing quickly until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu beautifully.
9. Add the scallion greens, toss a few times, and remove from heat.

5️⃣ Serve and enjoy

🔥 Best served with steamed white rice—so flavorful and satisfying!

This Chinese Scallion-Braised Tofu (葱烧豆腐) is beautifully glazed, deeply flavorful, and perfect for a hearty meal. If you prefer a softer texture, cover the wok and let it simmer for an extra minute to allow the tofu to absorb even more flavor.
