Ingredients

  • 2 14 oz. blocks Burmese-style tofu

Tips and Tricks

Make sure to slice the Burmese-style tofu into bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the garlic, ginger, and chili.
Use a non-stick wok or frying pan to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pan.
Adjust the amount of chili peppers according to your desired level of spiciness.
Add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for added umami flavor.
