Looks crisp and so perfect with that creamy sauce!
This looks so good! I will be making this soon if I can find the chile peppers. Thanks!
Any dish with tofu is good with me. I especially love the extra from you use here. This is a great recipe, Raymund… another of yours I need to make soon.
My girl would love this! She loves tofu!
We have a Max’s restaurant and my Filipina friend loves it — I have to try it one day, but in the meantime, your tofu dish will suffice! Looks delicious!

This looks wonderful and a great way to get the husband to enjoy tofu rather than just tolerate it. 🙂 Need to give this a try. Thanks Raymund and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.
