Semur Tahu (Bean Curd In Soya Sauce)
Ingredients:
4 pieces of bean curd
30 g (1 oz) so-un (vermicelli made from green bean starch)
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
4 tbs dark soya sauce
1 tbs tomato ketchup
Fried onion and parsley for garnishing
1 cup water
Vegetable oil or butter
Cut each piece of bean curd in half. Soak the so-un in cold water for 30 minutes. Slice the onion finely and crush the garlic.
Put 3 tablespoonfuls of oil or butter in a frying-pan, and fry the tahu for 3 minutes on each side. Keep the pieces warm.
Put another tablespoonful of oil or butter in the pan, and fry the onion for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, soya sauce and tomato ketchup. Put in the bean curd and water, and simmer slowly for 4 minutes. Then add the so-un and turn the heat a little higher; go on cooking for 3 minutes more. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and fried onions.
