Tips:
1. The tofu is first dipped in starch and wrapped in egg liquid. It is not easy to break during frying, and the color will be more beautiful when frying. The starch will gelatinize during the braising process, which can play a certain role in thickening.
2. After the tofu is poured into the bowl of juice, be sure to simmer for a few minutes on low heat to allow the flavor to fully penetrate into the tofu to achieve a soft and juicy taste.
