How to do it?

  1. Drain the water from the package of tofu and place it on a plate.

  3. In a cooking pan/wok, heat the oil. Combine garlic and shallot and fry for 3 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Remove from pan/wok.
  4. Mix sesame oil, soy sauce and dark soy sauce in a bowl. Pour over steamed tofu.
  5. Garnish with fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately.
