Cooking Tips for Homestyle Tofu: 1. This dish can also be made without tomatoes, using light soy sauce for stir-frying. I used tomatoes because my child likes them; you can adjust according to your preference. 2. Tofu is generally fried over medium-low heat to evaporate the moisture before adding light soy sauce and tomatoes for better flavor absorption. 3. Chinese cuisine does not have to strictly follow recipes; feel free to mix and match as you like. Special thanks to selected soy sauce for enhancing the freshness of this dish!
