Once frozen, defrost the 450 g tofu in boiling water until soft. Squeeze out any excess liquid once cool enough to handle.

Heat enough 100 ml oil in a skillet to cover the bottom. Fry the coated tofu pieces in batches until golden and crispy, totaling about to minutes.
2 minutes
Remove the crispy tofu and set aside. In the same skillet, add more 100 ml oil if needed, and sauté 3-5 pc garlic and 3-5 pc chili peppers until fragrant.
5 minutes
Add a mixture of 45 ml soy sauce, 30 g brown sugar, and some water to the skillet, cooking until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
