Equipment

  • Mei Wok

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block soft tofu, cubed
  • 1 package salmon belly
  • 1 onion
  • 1 stalk green onion (for garnish)
  • 5 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions
 

  • Heat wok on high heat until just smoking. Add a drizzle of cooking oil.
  • Add sliced onions to pan and cook for 1 minute, until slightly soft.
  • Add salmon to pan and sear on the surface
  • Add in the cubed tofu. (Smush the tofu so flavor gets in- I forgot to do this)
  • Stir in the ketchup, oyster sauce, and minced garlic. Add a splash of water or shaoxing wine if the salmon sticks to the pan.
  • Simmer for 5-7 more minutes until salmon is done & tofu is heated through. Add more ketchup or oyster sauce to taste. Top with green onions and enjoy with rice!

Notes

Simple Ketchup Salmon and Tofu (Dish #1)
Ketchup is for french fries and hash browns right? But when combined with oyster sauce it creates a delicious tomatoey, tangy umami flavor. For this salmon & tofu dish, I prefer salmon belly from my local asian grocer rather than salmon filets, because it is higher in fats (the good kind!) and thus less dry - but either works.
This comes together in 15 minutes or less!
