Stir-fried Bean Sprouts with Tofu (Ginisang Togue)

Jump to Recipe •

A simple Filipino-style stir-fried mung bean sprouts recipe with fried tofu. This is a healthy and flavorful vegetable dish that packs a flavor with the addition of fish sauce and oyster sauce.

This dish is known as Togue Guisado in Filipino. Its ingredients are similar to Lumpiang Gulay (Fried Vegetable spring rolls) with the addition of tofu.

The tofu not only adds texture but makes it protein-packed too. So good on its own but can also be served as a side dish for fried fish and fried pork.

Prepare mung bean sprouts

Mung bean sprouts are available in most Asian stores. Here in Singapore, it is easily accessible in most if not all grocery stores. They are sold in packs and are ready to cook.

If you happen to buy freshly sprouted mung beans, you can remove the hair to make it polished looking. It is completely edible so if you don't have the time, leave it as it is.

Before cooking, wash and soak the bean sprouts under cold water. Drain well using a colander and tap out excess liquid.

How to cook stir-fried Mung Bean Sprouts with Tofu (Togue Guisado)

While soaking the bean sprouts, prepare the rest of the ingredients:

  • Tofu. Drain water out of the tofu (firm or extra firm) then put it on a plate lined with a clean cloth or paper towels. Put another layer of towel and plate on top then weigh down with heavy cans or books. Pressing as much water out of the tofu will give it a better texture. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes. Slice into small cubes then set aside.
  • Vegetables:  Thinly slice the carrot and green beans. Slicing the ingredients this way makes them cook faster alongside the bean sprouts.

Let's start cooking!

  1. Fry the cubes of tofu in hot oil until all sides are brown. Do this in two batches if needed. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Stir-fry garlic and onions until fragrant and translucent. Add carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add green beans and water. Continue cooking until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  3. Stir in bean sprouts, fried tofu, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and dried shrimp. Keep stir-frying for another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.

You may substitute dried shrimp with fresh shrimps. Other vegetables that you can use are sugar snap peas, cabbage, potato, singkamas or jicama, and bell peppers.
