Preparing the tofu with tomato sauce

1. Prepare the ingredients

Cut the tofu into medium-sized cubes.

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into small cubes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Sauté 2–3 spring onions in the pan.

Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they break down into a thick sauce.

3. Add the fried tofu

Add the tofu cubes to the tomato sauce and gently mix so that the tofu absorbs the flavors.

Season with salt, sugar, and MSG (optional), then add just enough water to cover. Simmer for another 3 minutes so that the flavors blend together and soak into each piece of tofu.

Turn off the heat, then sprinkle some finely chopped spring onions over the top for garnish.
