Tofu puffs are chewy squares of deep-fried tofu. They are available in Asian markets and the international section of some supermarkets. This recipe includes a nutritional breakdown.

Prep Time: 10�minutes

Cook Time: 35�minutes

Total Time: 45�minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (140 grams, 4.9 ounces) Superior Tofu Puff, cut into halves*
  • 2 medium onions, cut in wedges
  • 1 medium carrot, cut in 1/2 inch slices
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut in 3/4 inch slices
  • 1/2 cup string beans
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Preparation:

In a large pot, combine onions, carrot, string beans, potato, 1/4 cup water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer until vegetables are tender (about 20 min). Mix the rest of the ingredients except frozen peas and add to vegetables in the pot. Continue cooking for another 10 min. Add peas and cook another 5 min. Caution: tofu puff absorbs the gravy very well, and can be very hot in the centre.
