Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of red chili flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more if needed.
- If you don't have rice bran oil, you can substitute with other neutral-flavored oils like canola or vegetable oil.
- For a vegetarian version, ensure your soy sauce is vegetarian-friendly. You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
