Tofu Bathed in Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 500 g tofu, cut into 2-3cm cubes
- 2-3 green onions, chopped
- 750 g tomatoes, quartered
- 1 tsp salt (+/- to taste)
- ½ tsp fish sauce
Instructions
- Heat about 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pot over medium high heat. Sauté shallots and garlic until fragant. Then add tomatoes and salt.
- Simmer covered over medium heat for about 20 minutes. At this point, the tomatoes will have broken down to a sauce like consistency. Incorporate tofu and continue to simmer for about 5-6 more minutes. Stir in green onions, fish sauce and additional salt if necessary. Top with a dash of ground black pepper and serve with steamed, jasmine rice.
Notes
I like to dip the tofu in a mix of a squeeze of lime juice, 1 tbsp of fish sauce and finely chopped chili peppers.
