I had leftover sauce from when I cooked youlinji with chicken breasts. I tried pouring it over fried firm tofu, and it was delicious, so I uploaded this recipe...

When you are frying firm tofu, make sure the tofu pieces are apart from each other so they won't stick together.
This recipe makes plenty of sauce.

(If you have leftover sauce, put it in the fridge, and pour it over another dish the next day. It will be delicious, too ) Recipe by Hokkori-no
