Tofu Chilly
A delicious and hearty vegetarian Indo-Chinese dish, Tofu Chilly is a spicy, tangy stir-fry that combines crispy tofu cubes with bold flavors and vibrant veggies — a perfect choice for anyone craving the classic chilly taste in a plant-based version.
Firm tofu is cut into bite-sized cubes, lightly seasoned, and coated in a thin layer of cornstarch or flour, then shallow- or deep-fried until golden and slightly crisp outside while remaining soft and tender inside.
The crisp tofu is then tossed in a hot wok with crunchy sliced onions, colorful bell peppers, green chilies, ginger, and lots of fresh garlic. The quick stir-fry keeps the vegetables vibrant and gives the dish its signature smoky wok aroma.
A flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and a pinch of black pepper or red chili flakes brings the iconic spicy-tangy flavor that Indo-Chinese food is known for. Everything is stir-fried just enough to coat the tofu evenly without losing its crispiness.
Garnished with freshly chopped spring onions, Tofu Chilly is served hot — delicious as a starter or paired with fried rice or noodles for a satisfying meal. It’s spicy, savory, and packed with bold umami in every bite — a must-try for tofu and Indo-Chinese lovers alike!
