About

I created this recipe for my demonstration vegetarian menu at The Oriental in Bangkok. Served with a light vegetarian broth instead of a heavy sauce it makes for a healthy but satisfying vegetarian dish. It is best cooked in a non-stick wok.

Ingredients

450g (1 lb) fresh firm beancurd
2½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Drain the bean curd and cut it into squares 5 x 2.5cm (2 x 1 in) thick. Set on kitchen paper to drain further for 30 Minutes.
Next, make the stuffing. Heat a wok on high heat until it is hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, turn the heat down and add the garlic.
