Stir Fried Tofu Skin with Squash Slices, Seafood Mushroom, and Goji berries are naturally delicious and satisfying. It features soft tofu skin, stir fried with bite-size squash slices and seafood mushroom in a simple salt and white pepper sauce with a splash of soy sauce. Goji berries add the beautiful contrast of red color, a hint of sweetness of taste, and bountiful nutrition.
We call Tofu Skin, also known as soybean curd sticks, Fu Zhu {腐竹} in Chinese. Fu Zhu {腐竹} literally means Tofu Bamboo, implying the dried soybean curd sticks look like miniature bamboo.
Soak the dried tofu skin with plenty of water in a large washing basin 4-6 hours prior to cooking and let them fully rehydrate.
No doubt I am a big fan of Tofu skin and frequently add them into stir-fry, soup and braised dishes. For instance, if I do not have tofu handy, I will use tofu skin as a substitute for this super appetizing Hot and Sour Soup.
Easy and Tasty Tofu Skin Stir Fry Ingredients
You will need Tofu skin, tender squashes, seafood mushroom and Goji berries as the key ingredients. Himalayan pink salt, freshly ground white pepper, and light soy sauce makes a simple while healthily delicious stir-fry sauce.
How to make an Easy, Yummy, and Healthy Tofu Skin Stir Fry at home?
See the Recipe for a detailed step-by-step tutorial. Here are a few key takeaways.
The first is to soak and re-hydrate the tofu skin
Soak the dried tofu skin in plenty of water in a large wash basin 4-6 hours prior to the cooking.
The second is to prep ingredients for Tofu Skin Stir Fry
Wash and rinse Tofu skin and Squash well. Cut the tofu skin with an angle into slices. Trim the ends of squash and cut into thin round slices.
For seafood mushrooms, trim off the end first before wash, rinse and separate them. Then cut the seafood mushroom into a few bite-size lengths.
Place dried Goji berries into a small bowl and add 1/4 cup boiling water, stir and mix well. We are going to use the re-hydrated Goji berries along with the soaking water for the stir fry.
The third is to blanch Tofu Skin
Bring a large stockpot( 8 Qt. or larger) filled with about 6 Qt. of water and bring it to a boil. Then add the rehydrated tofu skin slices. Stir and mix well. Add the lid and bring to a boil again. After that, turn the heat to simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Blanching helps soften the tofu skin and makes the stir fry tastier.
Last is to stir fry Tofu Skin with squash, seafood mushroom, and Goji Berries
Turn the heat to medium-high and heat the wok for 2 minutes. Spry about 1 tbsp avocado oil into the wok using a homemade oil sprayer and then add chopped green onions. Stir and fold for about 10 seconds.
Then add blanched tofu skin slices, squash slices, chopped seafood mushroom, and Goji berries with the soaking water into the wok, stir and fold for about 1 minute. Add salt, freshly ground white pepper, and light soy sauce, and continue to stir and fold using a slotted turner for another minute.
All done! Enjoy a tasty and healthy Tofu Skin Stir Fry.
