If you want to eat healthy food, but you don't want to make more than side dishes, I recommend this recipe. Seasoned thick fried tofu is very savory and tasty. The soy sauce-based sauce is good combination with it. Boiling the before stir frying is important not to allow the dish to be greasy. By boiling, fried tofu can absorb the seasoning easily.
