We love tofu, steamed, fried with other ingredients, deep fried or cooked in soup. It can be steamed with minced meat (with or without salted fish). Tofu is also delicious if fried with vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and carrot. We sometimes just deep fry them and eat them with chili sauce. We also cooked them in fish soup or vegetable soup with potato, carrots and tomatoes.

Method:
- Heat up some cooking oil in the kuali.
- Fry the eggs, break them up, then remove them from the kuali and set aside.
- Cut each piece of tofu into 9 cubes.
- Fry the tofu, remove them from the kuali and set aside. (You can either fry them slightly or fry them till they are light brown.)
- Remove the oil from the kuali (as the oil used to fry tofu would have become watery).
- Add about 5 tbsp of cooking oil to the kuali.
- Add the sambal to the kuali and stir fry till the oil separates from the chili paste (pecah minyak).
- Add sugar, light soy sauce and salt to the chili paste and fry till all are well mixed and the sugar has dissolved.
