How to Make Beef And Tofu In Oyster Sauce

  1. Bring 2-3 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of asparagus spears (reserve 2-3 for garnish).
  3. Once boiling again, cook for 2-3 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender (adjust time depending on thickness).
  4. Drain asparagus and set aside, reserving the cooking liquid.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornflour (cornstarch) with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  7. Add 1 pound of thinly sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Add 2 chopped green onions and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger; cook for another minute.
  8. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  9. Gently add 1 block (14 oz) of firm or extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces. Avoid breaking the tofu too much.
  10. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until tofu is heated through.
  11. Add the cooked asparagus and reserved 2-3 asparagus spears for garnish.
  12. Slowly pour in the cornflour slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
  13. Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice, garnished with remaining green onions if desired.
