Cooking tips:1. The purpose of blanching tofu with light salt water is to remove the water and beany taste in tofu. It can keep the tofu taste delicate and not fragile. 2. Spicy bean paste is salty. So soy sauce and salt must be put less. I almost don't put salt. Too salty things should not be eaten more. 3. When frying spicy bean paste, you need to warm the oil and stir fry it over medium heat to avoid the paste. 4. Don't use the spatula to turn the tofu too frequently or too violently in the pot, so as not to break it. Gently turn or shake the pot, so that the tofu is all covered with the sauce. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
