What more can I ask for a dish like this during Malaysia's MCO [movement control order], a government's effort to control the Covid19 pandemic? I am more than happy and satisifed with this dish.
Home-cooked with simple ingredients and seasoning but it is definitely healthy, awesome and fuss free.
If you happen to run short of ideas on what to cook for your family during this 'Stay At Home' time, this could be of help. The fried tofu absorbs the sauce which tastes savoury sweet. The tastes can be fine tune according to the quantity you are cooking. It doesn't costs much but the returns is satisfactory.
This is enough to serve 3 and you can increased the sauce ingredients if you like more gravy to spread over plain white rice.
