Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the green onions finely. Slice the shallots and set aside.
- 2
Rinse the tofu with clean water and cut each block into 6 pieces.
- 3
Slice the tomatoes into thin wedges for easier cooking.
- 4
Add oil to a pan, using a generous amount for frying the tofu. Fry when the oil starts to bubble, on low heat, until both sides are evenly golden, then transfer to a plate.
- 5
In another pot, add 2 tablespoons of lard, then add the shallots. Next, add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon of MSG, and 1 tablespoon of sugar (adding fish sauce and salt helps the tomatoes soften quickly). Stir for about 3 minutes, then add 1/2 a rice bowl of water, cover, and simmer on low heat, occasionally mashing the tomatoes with a spoon.
- 6
Once the tomatoes are soft and the sauce is thick enough to coat the tofu (add more water if needed), season the sauce to taste, add the tofu, stir gently, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes until the tofu is soft and absorbs the sauce.
- 7
Sprinkle with pepper and green onions once the tofu is soft.
- 8
Tip: Using lard makes the sauce much more flavorful and rich than using oil.

This healthy, flavorful tomato sauce is a staple in many dishes and is really simple to make. Lots of herbs and seasonings make it so delicious that my family prefers this over anything store bought.You can use whatever onion you have on hand. Sometimes I like using a sweet onion, other times I mix in some red, so go with whatever’s available and what you like.As always, use recipes as a guideline and feel free adjust the spices to suit your preferences. For example, add more red pepper flakes to add some heat, or more sugar to make it sweeter.
