1. Step 1

Cut the tofu into cubes, and roughly chop the other ingredients. Heat an appropriate amount of vegetable oil in a pot, then add garlic, green pepper, and tomato in sequence to stir-fry until fragrant. Add the tofu and pour in enough water or broth to cover the ingredients.
2. Step 2

Add seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the soup is reduced by half. Taste and adjust the saltiness, adding salt if it’s too bland or more soup if it’s too salty. Once adjusted, the dish is ready to be served. It’s best to eat this dish while it’s hot.
