Mushroom Stuffed Tofu Florets




I almost forgot about my fried tofu i bought recently. The little guys were sitting in my fridge for almost a week when my eyes caught a glimpse of them while looking for my greens. I know i've to grab them now or say goodbye till meet some other time. Instead of dumping them into main dish or curry noodles, decided to make snack out of it....


Ingredients:

1 packet fried tofu (the one use in curry mee)
1 bunch of oyster/inoki mushroom(chopped)
5 tbsp frozen corn kernels
1 carrot (chopped)
1 onion (chopped)
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
few springs of chives(spring onion chopped)
Salt to taste
Oil for frying


Methods:

1. Cut an 'X' on top of each dried tofu with a scissors. Remove the extra tofu flesh from the inside of the tofu & set aside.

2. With your both thumbs, gently push out the inner part of tofu to resemble the shape of flower.

3. Meanwhile, in a frying pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil & add in the onion & garlic. Fry for 1 min before adding in mushroom,corn kernels,carrot & the flesh of tofu that has seen set aside. Fry till the carrot become soft before adding in chives. Salt to taste.

4. Stuff the mixture into the tofu florets & deep fry till golden brown

A good vegetarian snack rich in protein is ready to be served.
