Spicy Shrimp and Tofu

I always cook a simple meal for my breakfasting or dinner. Last night, I've decided to cook this spicy shrimp with lots of tofu and carrots. It is serve warm with white rice.



Ingredients:

2 tablespoon homemade sambal ( blend onion, garlic, dried anchovies and fresh hot peppers)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
salt to taste
1/2 lbs shrimp
1 cake of fried tofu
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh hot peppers I bought for just a dollar at NYC.

Method:
In a big skillet, sautee homemade sambal in olive oil. Add carrots and tofu. Stir for about 2 minutes. Then add water, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Salt to taste. Lastly add shrimp. You don't have to add water if you like your shrimp on a dry side.

  3. I enjoyed this dish very much! I used carrots from our garden, so they were nice and sweet. I had regular tofu on hand, so I cut that into strips and fried it beforehand. I added cornstarch to thicken, and served the whole thing with extra Sriracha. Wonderful! And so fast. Thanks for this idea.
