Cooking wine: 1 tablespoon
Sugar: 1/2 teaspoon
Salt: to taste
Chicken powder (optional): a small amount
Water: a small amount
Cooking oil: as needed
Instructions:
1.Cut the soft tofu into square pieces of a moderate size, suitable for frying. Blanch the tofu

aside.

bit of water and bring the sauce to a simmer.
6.Add the fried tofu back into the pan, and let it simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, allowing
the tofu to absorb the sauce and the flavor of the scallions. Adjust the seasoning with salt and, if
desired, a bit of chicken powder or MSG.
7.Once the sauce has thickened and the tofu is fully infused with flavor, remove from heat and
transfer to a serving dish.
