Garlic 3 cloves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by boiling the tofu for a few minutes (this step is optional). Once boiled, cut the tofu into small, cube-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onions and garlic, sautéing until they are fragrant.

  3. Add Vegetables: Incorporate the chopped chilies, tomato, and a splash of water into the pan. Stir continuously until the tomato softens and breaks down.

  4. Season the Mixture: Season the mixture with salt and sugar to taste. Adjust the flavor as needed.

  5. Combine Tofu and Sauce: Gently fold in the cubed tofu and drizzle in the spicy sauce. Mix well to ensure the tofu absorbs the flavors, allowing it to cook for about 5 minutes.

  6. Serve: Once the tofu is well-coated and heated through, remove from heat and serve hot.

Enjoy this simple yet flavorful dish that brings a delightful kick to your table!
