Beef & Yuba Stir-Fry

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Side Dishes
Yuba (tofu skin) is a high-protein delicacy formed during soy milk boiling. It's a favorite in vegetarian cooking for its chewy texture, but here it pairs beautifully with beef. Dried yuba acts like a sponge, soaking up every drop of the ginger-soy sauce.

Instructions

1 ✓

Break the dried yuba into bite-sized pieces and soak in warm water for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain well.

Tip: Proper rehydration is essential to avoid a tough, plastic-like texture.
2 ✓

Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain. Chop the vegetables to a similar size.

Tip: Cutting against the grain ensures the meat is tender.
3 ✓

Heat sesame oil in a wok. Sear the beef over high heat for 2 minutes, then remove from the pan.

Tip: Quick searing preserves the juices. Do not overcook!
4 ✓

In the remaining oil, sauté the onion, garlic, ginger, and bell pepper.

Tip: Sautéing the aromatics releases their full flavor.
5 ✓

Return the beef to the pan. Add the yuba, soy sauce, sugar, and water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Tip: This step allows the yuba to absorb the savory sauce.

Recipe FAQ

The yuba is tough.
It wasn't soaked long enough or cooked in the sauce long enough. Allow time for rehydration.
What beef cut should I use?
Flank steak, sirloin, or thinly sliced round steak work best for quick cooking.
