Tofu and tempeh are excellent sources of plant-based protein. We are highly recommended to consume plant-based protein in addition to animal protein. Some people don't consume animal protein, so you can make this menu a daily protein substitute.

Today, I chose a dish with fried tofu. Next, I'll make a delicious chili sauce that goes well with tofu. This was my husband's request; he wanted to enjoy tofu like this. Okay, I'll make it according to his request.

At first glance it looks like tahu gejrot, but this is not tahu gejrot, the chili sauce recipe is also different, where the difference lies in the palm sugar and sliced shallots, here I don't use palm sugar at all, the ingredients I use are quite simple, just sweet soy sauce, shallots, chilies and garlic which I blend finely then I add sweet soy sauce and lime juice.
