Seafood & Tofu in Spicy Black Bean Sauce

THIS DISH CAN ALSO BE MADE WITHOUT SEAFOOD AND MAKES A GREAT TOFU DISH!




I'm a big fan of tofu.  And shrimp. And blackbean sauce.  And when you combine them all together, you have one flavorful dish!  Another simple and easy recipe haphazardly put together, from scratch!  It's quite hearty and ligth to the same time.

Ingredients:

-1/4 lb large shrimp (de-shelled and de-veined)
- 1/4 lb cuttle fish steaks (body, scored-hatched on the back)
- 2 small blocks fried tofu (approx. 2 1/2 cups) (cubed)
- 1 cup green bell peppers (cubed)
- 1/2 cup green onions (coarsely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic
- Half an yellow onion (coarsely chopped)
- 1 tbsp Sriracha hot chili sauce
- 2 tbps Black bean garlic sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp cooking oil






 



Preparation and Instructions:

- Heat cooking oil in pan.  Add garlic and onion into pan and sautee until onion is transluscent.  Add shrimp and cuttlefish, stir and sautee.  Add cubed tofu and continue to sautee.  Add green bell peppers, black bean sauce, hot chili sauce and oyster sauce.  Stir and let simmer for 7 mins.  Turn heat low and add green onions and stir.  Continue to let simmer for 5 minutes, ocassionally stir.
