• 5 green curly chilies
• 3 red bird’s eye chilies
• 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and onion to the pan and sauté until they release a fragrant aroma.

3. Add Chilies and Seasonings: Once the garlic and onion are fragrant, add the sliced chilies to the pan. Continue to sauté for a minute or two. Next, pour in enough water to create a light sauce. Stir in the sweet soy sauce, salt, and sugar to taste. Mix well to combine the flavors.

4. Incorporate Bean Sprouts and Tofu: Add the cleaned bean sprouts and fried tofu pieces into the pan. Stir gently to coat the ingredients with the sauce and ensure they are heated through.

5. Serve: Once everything is well-mixed and heated, your Toge Tahu Kecap is ready to be served. This dish is perfect as a side or a main course, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors.
