Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Start by cutting the white tofu into cubes, about 1 inch thick. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently add the tofu cubes and fry until they turn golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, use the leftover oil and add the finely sliced shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become fragrant and translucent.
-
-
Add Heat and Flavor: Toss in the sliced bird’s eye chili and diced tomato, stirring everything together. Season with salt and a pinch of your chosen flavor enhancer. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
-
Combine with Tofu: Gently fold in the fried tofu cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is well mixed and heated through, transfer your spicy sweet soy tofu to a serving dish. It’s perfect served warm, either as a main dish or a delightful side.
This recipe brings a deliciously spicy twist to traditional tofu, and it’s sure to be a hit at your dining table! Enjoy this delightful dish and share it with your loved ones.
