Fried Soft Beancurd [Tofu] With Preserved Soya Bean

Basic ingredients for this dish


Pan fry tofu slices

A simple dish to be served with porridge or rice


One more porridge dish which my Ma cooked for today's lunch. Looks appetising isn't it? With global food prices going up, more families should consider adding this dish in their meals because it is really a saver and healthy too. This dish costs less than Ringgit 2.00 because the other accompaniments are usually available in the home fridge. The 2 pieces of tofu is Ringgit 1.00.
