1
Prepare ingredients: cut tofu into appropriate pieces, slice scallions into flowers, press garlic with the side of the knife, and cut salmon into large chunks from the tail portion.
2
Heat the wok with oil over low heat and gently pan-fry the salmon until fragrant.
3
Add the tofu and cook at slightly higher heat until the surface is golden and fragrant.
4
Pour in soy sauce to flavor the dish, adjusting to taste as needed.
5
Add the pressed garlic cloves to maintain their individual texture during braising.
6
Add sugar and cooking rice wine to taste, adjusting seasonings according to preference (optional Japanese-style flavor profile).
7
Reduce heat to low and braise gently to allow flavors to meld and proteins to cook through without losing nutrients.

Plate and serve hot. The aromatic braise should be enjoyed fresh from the wok.
