Tahu....tofu....there are just so many ways to make them. The tofu here is somewhat different in size. It is one big block which is about 3-4 big pieces that you can get at the wet market in Singapore. You can also get it fresh from the Toko, if you'd like.
This is one recipe that's easy to make and goes with pretty much any other main dishes.
Here, I had cooked Beef Soup (Malay style) to go with the Sambal Tofu Masam Manis. The recipe for the beef soup is simple and I will post that soon.
Ingredients :
1 block of tofu - Cut into small pieces and fry
6 pieces of prawns cut in halves - Stir-fry them till they are cooked
4-5 pieces of dried red chillies *
5 pieces shallots / 1 medium size red onion *
2 cloves garlic *
3/4 cm belacan / shrimp paste / trassi *
1 tbs tomato sauce
2 tbs chilli sauce
1/2 cup of tamarind juice (I used about a teaspoon of the tamarind and add water - not too much)
salt and sugar to taste
Method :
1) Blend all the ingredients marked *
2) Heat up some oil in the wok and fry the blended ingredients till fragrant.
3) Add the chili sauce and tomato sauce. With a medium heat, mix and fry till you see the oil rises.
4) Add the tamarind juice, sugar and salt. Mix them till the gravy thickens. Add the prawns and tofu and mix them thoroughly. And...it's done, ready to be served.
