Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Vegetable oil for deep-frying
300g silken tofu, drained and carefully cut into 3cm cubes
2 garlic cloves crushed
270g bean sprouts trimmed
25g garlic chives, cut into 4cm lengths
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons chicken stock

Fill a wok or deep-fat fryer one third full of oil and heat to 180C (350F), or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 15 seconds.

Add the tofu in two batches and deep-fry for two minutes, or until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Clean out the wok, reserving two tablespoons of the oil. Heat the reserved oil in the wok. Add the garlic and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Add the bean sprouts, chives, soy sauce, oyster and stock and stir-fry for about a minute. Toss in the fried tofu and stir to combine.

Serve immediately.
