FRIED TOFU JAPANESE STYLE

I love to cook and enjoy  most of the soya food products such as soft/firm beancurd, tofu puffs and even Tempeh.  This dish is another tasty tofu dish with simple ingredients and seasoning.  This is the second time I cooked this dish and as I like it very much, thought it would be good to keep the recipe here.

The fried tofu has the natural flavor of soya and blends well with the savoury/spicy seasoning sauce.

A homey dish that is quick to prepare for your family.
