Tofu with Savory Spicy Cream Sauce

The habit of enjoying tofu here has made me wonder how I can turn tofu into a super dish. Well, I don't want to just fry it this time. I want to make tofu with a spicy, sweet, savory, and soupy sensation. It will definitely be delicious and can be enjoyed anytime with these simple ingredients. In my opinion, a dish like this with gravy and cream is best enjoyed hot, especially during the winter. I'm sure it will become a favorite menu item for many people.

This creamy tofu gravy has an extraordinary sensation, with the soft taste of tofu blending perfectly with the savory and sweet thick gravy. Most importantly, you will find an extraordinary taste in this dish.
Well, without further ado, I immediately prepared the simple ingredients needed to make today's dish. Below are the preparation steps!
Ingredients Needed

2 curly red chilies
1 green chili
2 cloves of garlic
1 stalk of celery
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of chopped dried chili
1 tablespoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
Preparation Procedure
Cut the tofu into cubes, keeping them small. Then fry the tofu until golden brown or slightly crispy.




Finely chop the garlic, then chop the green and red chilies diagonally.




Sauté the garlic in enough cooking oil, then add the red and green chilies and a little water.

Then dissolve the cornstarch, then add it to the sauce while stirring slowly so that the flour does not clump.




Add the celery leaves, then season with salt and mushroom broth to taste. Finally, when everything is just right, add the fried tofu.




Serving Suggestion

Serve on a serving plate, then enjoy with bread or rice. See for yourself how beautiful it looks and how delicious it tastes. I usually serve this tofu soup as a side dish with white rice for lunch. It's often my go-to dish when I'm short on ingredients; I use tofu to make delicious dishes like this. Besides being inexpensive, tofu is easy to find where I live, so I always have it in stock at home.

As I mentioned earlier, the taste is savory, sweet, and slightly spicy, with a creamy broth and super soft tofu. It’s intentionally fried without a hard crust so the seasoning can penetrate better, making it incredibly delicious.

So, for those of you wondering what to do with tofu, try making this version—I’m sure you’ll love it.

The journey of savouring tofu has sparked a deep reflection in me about how to transform something simple into something memorable. This time, the desire to create a dish that awakens the senses is evident, where tofu is embraced by a mixture of spicy, sweet and salty flavours, immersed in a broth that invites comfort. I imagine a dish that not only nourishes the body but also caresses the soul, especially on those cold winter days.
The fusion of the creamy sauce with the tofu promises an extraordinary delight, where each bite becomes a sensory experience. I am convinced that this creation will not only be just another dish but will earn a special place in the hearts and on the tables of those who try it.
The ability to transform the simple into something extraordinary is an art that transcends the kitchen. By seeking to fuse flavours that awaken the senses, you not only create a dish, but also moments that nourish the soul. I am eager to see how this creation becomes a warm embrace on cold days, bringing people together around the table.
