Fried tofu with peppers in a wok

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 175 g smoked tofu
• 1 bell pepper(s)
• ½ onion(s)
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp salt
• 50 ml water
• 1 pinch(s) of sugar
• 40 g smoked bacon

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Cut the tofu into approximately 3 mm thick strips. Cut the bell pepper and bacon into thin strips, and the garlic into thin slices. Before peeling the garlic, you can press the garlic clove with a knife. This makes it easier to remove the skin and allows the garlic flavor to infuse the dish with more flavor. Cut the onion into thin strips. Heat the wok on the stovetop. When the wok is hot, add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Wait a moment until the oil is hot. If you have a thermometer, the oil should be approximately 200-220°C. First, fry the garlic and then the onions in the oil, stirring frequently. Then add the bacon, bell pepper, and tofu. Season with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the water while stirring, ensuring there is a constant flow of liquid in the wok. Finally, add a pinch of sugar. Serve with rice. Tip: I prepared this dish rather dry. If you like, you can add more water and thicken it with a sauce thickener at the end. This will also give you a sauce for the rice. Instead of water, you can also use meat stock, but with less salt, and instead of bacon, you can also use diced ham.
