Spicy Tofu Stir Fry with Crispy Anchovies (Cah Tahu Teri Pedas)


Ingredients:
1 pack tofu, cut into squares
2 tbs dried anchovies, crispy fried
2 tbs cooking oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
Thai chillies (i used 2 for this recipe), diagonally sliced
2 stalks spring onions, white parts, diagonally sliced
40 ml water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp sugar

  • You can fried the tofu until slightly brown, but i like mine baked, so here is how to bake the tofu. Preheat oven to 180 °C, in a bowl add the tofu, drizzle about 2 tbs cooking oil and mix until evenly coated. put them on the baking tray covered with baking paper and bake for about 15 minutes or until they are slightly brown. 
  • In a wok or a pan, preheat 2 tbs cooking oil over medium high heat. Add the shallots and garlic, fry until fragrant. Add in the chillies and spring onions. Cook for about 1 minutes, add water, let it cook for another minute. 
  • Toss in the tofu, season with salt, pepper and sugar (i used about 3/4 tsp of salt), gently stir until all just combined, remove from heat, sprinkle the fried anchovies on top. Serve it with steamed rice.
