Lemongrass tofu (also known as đậu hũ sả) is a classic Vietnamese dish. It's super easy to make and delicious in fresh spring rolls, over rice, or rice noodles.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium sized onion, diced OR 1 bunch of green onion, diced OR two shallots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, cleaned and chopped (discard the dryer outer layers, because they will have flavour but will be hard to eat. You can save those for making a flavourful broth.) OR 1/3 cup frozen lemongrass
  • 1/2 tsp dried red chilli flakes
  • 1 lb fresh or frozen* fried tofu, sliced into strips
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce (depends on how salty you like it, start with 2, then add more if needed)

Directions

  1. 1

    Over medium heat, saute the onions in oil until translucent. Add garlic, chopped lemongrass and red chilli flakes, and stir until the lemongrass looks "melted".

  2. 2

    Add the tofu and soy sauce and stir fry, mixing well until the tofu has absorbed the flavour and is cooked through (about 5-10 minutes).

  3. 3

    Serve over rice, rice noodles, or even in rice wraps!
