Braised Tofu with Fish Sauce and Chives

Overview

I ate fish grilled with lemon fish sauce that day and kept the remaining fish juice. I cut the tofu into pieces and soaked it with the fish sauce in a pot for two hours. I put it in the refrigerator at night and fried it the next day. It was quite delicious.

If it is not enough, you can heat about 3 tablespoons of water, add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, and 1/3 teaspoon of pepper to add flavor. If the original flavor of the fish sauce is not enough, cook on medium-low for about 10 minutes;
