Beancurd Knots with Chilli Oil
This is a delightful and flavourful dish that combines the chewy texture of rehydrated beancurd knots with the spiciness from the Chilli Oil and balanced with fresh, crisp taste of blanched bokchoy.
Ingredients
- 200g dried Beancurd (tofu) Knots
- 2 tablespoons pre-made chili oil from Chilli Oil Kit
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 200g bok choy, washed and halved or quartered

Method
Rehydrate the Beancurd Knots (30 minutes):
- Place the dried beancurd knots in a large bowl.
- Pour boiling water over them, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Let them soak for about 30 minutes until they become soft.
- Drain and squeeze out any excess water.
Prepare the Sauce (5 minutes):
- In a small bowl, mix together the pre-made chilli oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Cook the Bok Choy (5 minutes):
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
- Add the bok choy and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
- Drain and set aside.
Cook the Beancurd Knots (10 minutes):
- In a large pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add the drained beancurd knots and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they start to get a little crispy on the edges.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the beancurd knots and stir well to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beancurd knots are well coated.
Combine and Serve (5 minutes):
- Add the blanched bok choy to the pan with the beancurd knots and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving plate.
- Garnish with chopped spring onion, sesame seeds, and coriander if desired.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
