Tofu in Black Bean Sauce Recipe

Tofu in Black Bean Sauce is an easy flavorful Asian tofu dish. This recipe is so simple and quick – it just took me less than 20 minutes to complete and serve this dish.

Since tofu is the main ingredient of this dish, it is better to ensure to use the right kind of tofu. I used firm tofu for this recipe. Firm tofu is different from the extra firm tofu which is usually used for tokwa’t baboy. Unlike extra firm tofu, firm tofu does not get crispy right away when fried; it is the ideal texture needed for this dish. As for the salted black beans, make sure that you rinse them first before cooking to decrease the salinity. Placing salted black beans without rinsing will make this dish too salty.

This dish is best for vegetarians and for those who want to get away from meat once in a while.

    I’ve cooked this recipe twice and it’s really good. I was never sure how to cook chinese but this is easy to follow. I’ve also tried with onions and green pepper
