Cooking tips 💡

• Layering the potatoes on the bottom of the pot prevents the seasoning from sticking and helps them cook through gently.
• Once it starts boiling, lower the heat and simmer slowly so the tofu doesn't break apart and the seasoning penetrates deep inside.
• You can also add a few dried anchovies for broth, Spam, minced beef, mushrooms, etc.
