Enjoy a different tofu texture by panfrying tofu to create a crispy crust and then briefly braising it in a savory sauce until tender. This is a popular homestyle dish in China, and every family has their own method for making it. With this recipe, I only focus on the tofu, but if you wish to add more vegetables, sliced bamboo shoots, carrots, and bell peppers are great options. If you do decide to add vegetables, double the sauce and slurry amounts so that you will have enough to coat all
