Garlic Tender Tofu

With a frying pan, I now have the confidence to cook many dishes that I used to struggle with. Pan-frying tofu used to be quite a technical task for me, but now with a non-stick pan, I can fry tofu with perfect results every time, greatly boosting my confidence. Today after work, I saw my mother-in-law had bought some soft tofu, so I volunteered to take on the challenge. I used to always fry firm tofu since it's less likely to break, but the soft tofu turned out just as well today—you just have to be a little more careful when flipping it. I purposely used less chili for my son, and he really enjoyed it at dinner. You should all give it a try too.
