TOFU WITH BEAN SPROUTS + PEAS + OYSTER SAUCE OR SOY SAUCE

"Today is another chance, make the most out of it."

I promised in my CROCK POT ASIAN BEEF WITH BROCCOLI post that I will be posting a meal with Oyster sauce in it, so here it is. There will be my one more  post with oyster sauce and then we will be done with anything oyster. We can move on to a different sauce? Maybe the Teriyaki sauce which was a leftover  from the CHICKEN BREAST STIR FRY SAUCE ?

Our food for today was called Tofu with Bean Sprouts and Peas. I have some left over tofu in the ref and I was thinking about just frying them.  I realized that I still have some bean sprouts and the oyster sauce, so I decided to cook this meal today.

I am so glad to say that this is good enough, that I did not mind eating it without rice. Paired with  the TIEN'S SOY SAUCE,  which my husband got from his Vietnamese colleague, I am so eager to eat the last strand of the bean sprouts. I will be sharing another recipe with oyster sauce next week. What can I say, I do not want that Oyster sauce sitting in the fridge for a long time. I have to get rid of it, right?

NOTE: If you are vegan, you can replace the oyster sauce with dark soy sauce and add accordingly depending on how salty you want it. ENJOY!
