We make tofu snacks/ starters at least once a week. I have tasted braised tofu at one of the local restaurants when I went out for lunch (of course before all this corona madness started) I saw this Tofu dish on the menu I wanted to order. By then my colleagues ordered the food I thought we can do it next time. By the time food arrived, I saw the tofu dish. My colleagues know me well.. I always order tofu dish so they have ordered for me. I loved it so much I have noted it down in my to-try list. Finally, I managed to do this.
