Hello hello Vegan friends, This time I want to introduce to you a dish that only exists in our area. We call it "Fried Tofu".
If you think the contents of this dish are only fried tofu, you are wrong. Because this menu contains vegetables with special spices.
We often cook this dish, because the ingredients are easy to get and also the sweet and sour taste adds to the enjoyment of this dish.
Crispy and soft tofu combines with the taste of vegetables with spicy peanut sauce. I highly recommend this dish to you. Let's just prepare this.
