Tofu with Crab Sauce

I wanted to make a refined tasting Chinese style dish that highlighted the delicate texture of tofu.
They say that it's easier to get rid of the excess moisture in tofu if you boil it for a while, but if you can't be bothered you can skip this step.
Once you put the tofu in the pot, don't use utensils to stir fry - shake the wok to stir the ingredients around instead.
If you can manage to keep the shape of the tofu intact when you put this on a serving plate, it will look classier. For 2 servings. Recipe by KiwieKiwie

Our Family Favorite Tofu with 'Crab??' Sauce Our Family Favorite Tofu with 'Crab??' Sauce
This has been our family's favorite for a long time.Simple and delicious!Using tinned crab would be better but it is very expensive... we use the crab sticks instead and enjoy the taste of imitation crab (laugh).The water content of the type of tofu you use decides the taste.Don't forget to taste before adding the katakuriko mixture. If it is too bland add more salt.Tofu is very fragile. Move the frying pan around to mix the ingredients and your tofu will keep its shape. Recipe by Chokotaro cookpad.japan -
Tofu with Imitation Crab and Eggs In Sweet and Sour Ketchup Sauce Tofu with Imitation Crab and Eggs In Sweet and Sour Ketchup Sauce
I wanted to eat tofu in a different way than I usually do, so I thought this up. I mixed my favorite ketchup with vinegar, and was able to come up with this mild sweet and sour ketchup sauce.1) When not using honey for the sauce, a tablespoon of sugar should suffice.2) Make sure to thoroughly drain the tofu. If you want to sweeten it, add sugar in 1/2 tablespoon intervals to taste. When you mix in the water, this is useful because the water from the tofu will drain out and mix with the ankake.3) I used a small 200g package of firm tofu. You can use silken tofu, but be aware that it breaks apart easily. Recipe by MilkLove cookpad.japan -
