Ingredients
4 cakes bean curd
1 scallion stalk (up to)
4 tablespoon 0il
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking Directions:
1. Cut each bean curd cake in 6 to 8 pieces or in 1-inch cubes. Cut scallion stalk in 1-inch sections.
2. Heat oil. Add salt; then scallion, and stir-fry a few times until translucent. Add bean curd; stir-fry gently until heated through (2 to 3 minutes).
3. Sprinkle with soy sauce and remaining salt and stir in gently.
NOTE: Since bean curd is fragile, vigorous stir-frying will demolish it. Therefore shake or tilt the pan from time to time to baste the bean curd with hot oil; or else separately turn the pieces so they can heat through evenly. VARIATIONS:
1. For the soy sauce, substitute oyster sauce.
2. Use 4 or 5 whole scallions, cut in 1-inch lengths.
3. Before serving, sprinkle bean curd with a few drops of sesame oil; or garnish with minced raw scallion.
4. With Chinese sausage: Steam 4 Chinese sausages 15 minutes; then slice thin. Add to heated oil in step 2 and brown lightly; then stir-fry scallion and bean curd.
5. With mushrooms (fresh): In step 2, add after the scallion, 1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced, and stir-fry until slightly softened. Then add the bean curd and continue as in steps 2 and 3.
6. With mushrooms (dried): After step 2, add 10 dried black mushrooms (soaked), sliced, the soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Then gently stir in 1/2 cup of the mushroom-soaking liquid or stock. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, 5 minutes over medium heat.
7. With roast pork: In step 2, add after the scallion, 1/4 cup roast pork, sliced or diced, and stir-fry a few times. Then add the bean curd and continue as in steps 2 and 3.
8. With shrimp: In step 2, add after the scallion 1/4 cup raw shrimp, shelled, deveined and cut in 1-inch pieces; stir-fry until pinkish. Then add bean curd and continue as in steps 2 and 3.
