3

Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan and fry the tofu on medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

4

Spread the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the fried tofu.

5

Simmer the tofu with the sauce on low heat until the sauce is absorbed.

If vegetables are undercooked, cover the pan and cook further on low heat. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

Serve the braised tofu as a simple side dish or main dish. The seasoning sauce can also be used for stir-frying fish cakes or mushrooms.
