This Man's Cook Tofu with Bird's Eye Chilies Stir-fry

Cooking tips

  • Making small cuts at both ends of the bird's eye chilies helps the sauce penetrate inside, preventing the chilies from being too dry during cooking.
  • Mixing perilla oil and vegetable oil in a 1:1 ratio prevents the perilla oil from smoking easily due to high heat.
  • Simmer the sauce until it becomes thick and sticky for best results when mixing with rice.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a flavorful, aromatic tofu dish instead of regular tofu stew as a side dish.
  • People craving a salty, thick stew sauce to mix with rice.
  • Fans of the perfect combination of crunchy, spicy bird's eye chilies and savory, soft tofu.
