Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Cut the konjac tofu into bite-sized slices or strips. Cube the dried tofu into similar sizes. Julienne the carrot and slice the bell pepper into strips. Chop the garlic scapes into 2-inch lengths.
2
Blanch the vegetables and tofu
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of oil. Blanch the carrot, green pepper, and dried tofu for about 1 minute until just slightly softened. Remove and drain well. This step locks in the vibrant colors and removes any raw taste from the konjac.
3
Stir-fry until fragrant
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the doubanjiang and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant and the oil turns red. Add the garlic scapes and cook for another 30 seconds.
4
Combine and finish
Add the blanched vegetables and konjac tofu to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing everything together. Season with soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Toss well and serve hot over steamed rice.
