Recipe: Scallion Ginger Beef & Tofu

In my quest to find more recipes for tofu, I found one that includes beef.  The woks of life has this simple recipe called Scallion Ginger Beef and Tofu.  I actually liked the end result because it was very flavourful.

The only thing that we have to be careful of is the choice of meat.   I bought a flank steak for this recipe but I got it from a not so good supplier in a supermarket.  I will be more choiceful next time especially when buying meat and fresh produce.

The Scallion Ginger Beef & Tofu is a chinese recipe that is a complement to plain rice.  I’ll cook this next time when I have people over at my home so they can sample it, hehe!
