Tips:
- For a vegetarian option, skip the chicken fillet and increase the tofu quantity.
- You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or fewer bird’s eye chilies.
- Make sure the sauce is balanced between sweet, sour, and spicy flavors before serving.
Enjoy making this delightful fusion dish that perfectly combines the softness of tofu with the crunch of green beans and carrots, enveloped in a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce!
