Cooking tips 💡

• Layering vegetables on the bottom releases moisture during simmering, preventing the meat and tofu from sticking or burning.
• Adding a little fermented anchovy sauce to the seasoning creates a deeper umami and richer flavor compared to using only salt.
• Salting the tofu before frying draws out moisture, helping it hold its shape during cooking and giving it a chewier texture.
