In cooking competitions, judges often score contestants by looking at the plating of their prepared dishes. Being able to make a dish not only taste good but also look appetizing just from the way it's plated is a skill that every skilled chef must master.
This time, for housewives who are passionate about cooking, we're going to show you how to beautifully arrange fried tofu on a bed of lettuce leaves.
Ingredients
- Fried tofu (or tofu) 250 grams
- A small amount of cilantro leaves and 3 lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 chili peppers
- 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
- A small amount of salt and ground pepper
Step-by-step preparation method
Cut the fried tofu into small pieces. Also pick off the cilantro leaves and slice them thinly. Slice the garlic and chili peppers thinly as well.
Heat a pan, add oil, then add the garlic and chili peppers and fry them.
Once fried until fragrant, add the tofu pieces into the pan and sprinkle with salt and ground pepper.
After frying for about 3 to 4 minutes, add the cilantro leaves to bring out a fragrant aroma.
Once everything is mixed evenly, arrange 3 lettuce leaves neatly on a plate, and then evenly distribute the fried tofu pieces on top of the lettuce leaves.
With that, you'll have achieved a simple yet beautiful plating arrangement. It's not just limited to fried tofu — you can also use this method to beautifully plate other types of fried dishes on lettuce leaves.
