Marinated tofu with honey | Elaine Luo

Marinated tofu (卤汁豆腐 or 蜜汁豆腐) is a famous Chinese snack, using tofu. Sometimes, it is called as tofu bacon. The tofu is firstly deep-fried and then with a thick sauce, either sweet, savory or even with a mala flavor. If you dried this marinated tofu in oven or naturally, the marinate tofu will be further made into Dougan (豆干) after drying. If you love the savory and sweet flavor, I highly recommend trying this one.
