1: It is recommended to choose old tofu when making tomato sauce tofu, because old tofu has low water content and is very chewy after frying. 2: You can add more water to the tomato sauce for seasoning, because the fried tofu will absorb more umami flavor if it is cooked in the soup for a while. 3: I made it for children, so there is no chili pepper in the tomato sauce.
