Notes

feel unfastened to alternative chook breast for the tofu, reduce into cubes, and organized the equal way. feel loose to crisp the tofu within the wok, with out the use of cornstarch. simply make certain to pat dry the tofu with paper towels and season the oil inside the pan with salt and pepper. Don’t move the tofu around too much inside the pan. The tofu will clearly launch from the pan whilst it develops a “crust”. So just flip and flop every now and then, letting it get crispy. if your bok choy is longer than four inches, chop up the white root end into smaller portions, and stir-fry them first for 1-2 minutes before adding the inexperienced parts.
