Implementation Steps
01
- Cut the tofu into even squares
- Mince the lemongrass together with the chillies
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the tofu over low heat until it's a lovely golden colour, then turn off the heat.
02
- In the same pan, fry the lemongrass until fragrant, then add the chillies and stir-fry continuously over low heat. Add a little soy sauce and sugar and toss; when the lemongrass and chilli have firmed up, add the tofu and toss until it's coated, then turn off the heat.
If you season this dish lightly, it's still delicious with soy sauce for dipping.
