Cooking tips 💡

• Never add seasonings one by one during stir-frying—this causes the tofu to burn easily. Always mix the sauce ahead of time.
• Potato starch becomes sticky when wet, so keep space between tofu pieces and add them gradually to avoid clumping.
• For children’s side dishes, substitute green or red chili peppers with finely chopped scallions for a milder, sweeter flavor.
• You can replace shiitake mushrooms with fish cake, ham, quail eggs, or glutinous rice cakes—cut to roughly half the size of the tofu.
