Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cutting the tofu into thick 3 cm slices and frying it until crispy gives it a crispy outside and a pudding-like soft inside.
  • Patting the tofu dry with a paper towel before frying prevents oil splatter and helps it brown nicely.
  • Adding a little minced pork to the sauce brings out savory meat juices and umami.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make pan-fried tofu more special and elegant.
  • Those looking for a savory tofu dish that both children and the whole family will enjoy.
