Spicy Soy Chunk Stir-Fry
A family recipe since July 2008
A quick, protein-packed stir-fry of soy chunks simmered in a fragrant tomato and spice sauce. Ready in about 30 minutes and ideal alongside steamed rice or warm roti.
Ingredients
- Soy chunks - 1/2 cup
- Onion - 1 whole
- Ginger-garlic paste - 2 tbsp
- Tomato - 2 whole
- Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
- Kashmiri chili powder - 1/2 tsp
- Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
- Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
- Salt
- Coriander leaves
- Oil
Instructions
- 1Place the soy chunks in a bowl, cover with water and soak for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water.
- 2Drain the soy chunks, transfer them to a pressure cooker, add salt and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and pressure cook for 1 whistle.
- 3Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, add the chopped onion and sauté until the onion is light brown and fragrant.
- 4Add 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste and the remaining spices (1/2 tsp Kashmiri chili powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder and 1/2 tsp coriander powder) and stir for 2-3 mins until the raw aroma disappears.
- 5Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften and the mixture thickens slightly.
- 6Add the cooked soy chunks to the pan and toss well, frying until the mixture is dry and the chunks are evenly coated with the masala.
- 7Taste and adjust salt if needed, then garnish with coriander leaves and give everything a final toss.
- 8Serve hot with steamed rice or roti, if you like.
