Instructions
-
Fry the tofu cubes as per your preference. You can fry them in a hot oil. I fried them using an air fryer. When done frying, drain and set aside. Note: I did not coat the tofu cubes with cornstarch. I fried them as is.

In a pan over medium-high heat, add oil. When the oil is hot enough, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add onion and bell pepper, cook until soft.

Add sliced chayote, carrot, soy sauce, oyster sauce, water and veggie stock powder. Stir and then cover the pan for 7 minutes or until the veggies are cooked.

If the chayote and carrot are cooked, add sliced cabbage and long beans. Cook for another minute.

Add the fried tofu cubes and mix everything.

Season with ground black pepper (and salt, if needed).

Turn off the heat and serve.
