    Instructions

    1. 1

      Press 400 grams of extra-firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

    2. 2

      Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat, then stir-fry the tofu cubes for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then remove and set aside.

    3. 3

      Add 1 medium chopped onion to the same wok and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent, then add 6 minced garlic cloves and 1-inch julienned ginger, continuing to stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

    4. 4

      Add the tough stalks of 2 bunches of kangkong to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the kangkong leaves and 1 small sliced red chili, stir-frying for another 3 minutes until slightly wilted.

    5. 5

      Pour in 400 ml of full-fat coconut milk, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of cane vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, stirring gently to combine.

    6. 6

      Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.

    7. 7

      Return the crispy stir-fried tofu to the wok, gently toss to coat everything in the creamy coconut sauce, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
