Braised tofu with spicy sauce

Overview

The damn lack of season has come again. After I came to Suzhou, I always felt the air was damp and uncomfortable. My best friend told me to eat more soy products. Actually, I just don’t like tofu. Recently, a lot of friends told me that there were no recipes about soy products, so I had time to study them, so I went to the supermarket to buy them today and started cooking them
