Basta Tokwa


With Lent underway, I had a bit of experimentation done at the kitchen. The result is a tofu (tokwa) recipe in something spicy sauce. Here is how I prepared the meal..

1 medium cube tokwa (cubed)
5 tbsps. cooking oil
1 red sili labuyo (medium)-chopped
3 tbsps. crushed garlic
1 medium sized onion-julienned
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tsps. ground pepper
2 tsps. chili-garlic sauce (courtesy of Mr. Maglonzo, paging Ana)


Procedures:
Heat pan, fry the tokwa until golden brown
Set aside the fried tokwa and then begin sauteing the garlic, onion and red chili in medium heat.

pour in the soy sauce mixed with the ground pepper and add a bit of water then let boil.

put the tokwa back in the mix, add the chili-garlic homemade sauce and let simmer for a few seconds and voila! you have an oriental-type of dish with an edge. Hmm, yummy!
