RECIPES TIPS
- Spicy? You may notice most of my dishes are baby friendly or toddler friendly (without chillies) to suite my kid. You may add some chillies (in step 3) if you would like some heat on the sauce.
WHAT ELSE TO SERVE?
No doubt it has to be rice.
You may cook the rice together while steaming the tofu in step 6. Simply add the rinsed rice into simmering basket and adjust the water to level with the rice (enough to cover the rice). Remove the tofu after 15 minutes. Continue to cook the rice for another 3 minutes.
