Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Drain the tofu well to remove excess water by placing it on a clean kitchen towel and gently pressing down to absorb moisture.

  2. In a bowl, marinate the tofu cubes with soy sauce for about 15 minutes to infuse flavor.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a clay pot or large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and fry until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate and set aside.

  4. In the same pot, add minced garlic and sliced onion. Sauté until fragrant and onion becomes translucent.

  5. Add brown sugar to the pot and cook until it melts and caramelizes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

  6. Carefully pour in water, rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. Return the tofu to the pot, coating it evenly with the caramel sauce. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes to absorb flavors.

  8. Remove the pot from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

  9. Serve the caramelized tofu hot over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables.
