Instructions

Prepare the Tofu:
- Begin by cutting the tofu into small cubes, ensuring they are bite-sized for easy enjoyment.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose seasoning flour and rice flour. Add the tofu pieces and gently toss until they are evenly coated with the dry mixture. Ensure that there is no excess moisture, as the coating should remain dry.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated tofu cubes and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the tofu from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Prepare the Salted Egg Sauce:
- In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and golden.
- Carefully remove the salted egg from its shell and mash it with a spoon until it becomes a smooth paste. For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or water to the mixture.
- Add the mashed salted egg to the pan with sautéed garlic. Stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle in the granulated sugar and mix thoroughly. You may also add instant broth powder or seasoning according to your preference, though it is optional.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed. Add the sliced red and green chilies for a pop of color and flavor. Cook until the sauce is heated through and all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Serve:
- To plate, arrange the crispy tofu on a serving dish and generously drizzle the creamy salted egg sauce over the top.
- Garnish with additional slices of chili if desired, and serve hot.
