Claypot Braised Tofu with Red Fermented Beancurd

Running out of recipe soon, sigh! What’s next? Hmmm… so I just try the below, it is not something very fantastic but it is still edible. Red fermented beancurd can be used to marinate firm tofu for deep-frying. Just mash the red fermented beancurd, season with sugar, sesame oil and mix well with the tofu.
