Ginisang Togue at Tokwa is easy to make and cooks in minutes. This vegetable stir-fry with crisp tofu is a fantastic side dish and is nutritious as it is delicious.

This vegetable stir-fry is one of my favorite side dishes. Not only is it quick and easy to make, but it's also budget-friendly and healthy.

Soybeans are an inexpensive source of protein; bean sprouts and tofu provide a vegetarian dinner option that's nutritious as it is delicious. Each serving of this dish is only 184 kcal!

Vegetable ingredients

It uses only a handful of ingredients and is customizable to what you have on hand. Below are some suggestions.

  • Green beans (Bagiuo beans), cut thinly on a bias
  • Celery, sliced thinly
  • Snow peas
  • Shitake mushrooms, cut into strips
  • Scallions, cut into two-inch lengths

Cooking tips

  • For best results, drain the tofu well and pat dry with paper towels to rid of excess moisture.
  • Cut the carrots in thin strips to ensure quick cooking.
  • The bean sprouts just need a few stirs; remove from heat immediately as they will continue to cook in their residual heat.
  • Stir-fry on high heat to keep the vegetables from overcooking in the steam
  • Do not add water or liquid as the bean sprouts have very high water content and will expel liquid.

How to serve

  • I like to double the recipe and serve half as a side dish for lunch and dinner with steamed rice and fried fish or grilled pork. The remaining portion I use as filling for lumpiang prito to enjoy as midday merienda throughout the day.
  • Due to loss of texture, this stir-fry is best served freshly cooked. To store leftovers, allow to cool completely and transfer in a container with a tight-fitting lid. It should keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Unfortunately, this dish does not freeze well.
  • To reheat, place in a wide pan over high heat and stir regularly until completely heated through. Or warm in the microwave at 1 to 2-min intervals until heated through.
