Critical Success Points

  • Sauté garlic just until fragrant; burning will make the dish bitter.
  • Simmer tofu on low heat to prevent it from falling apart.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and simmering liquid with care to avoid burns.
  • Use a splatter guard if oil pops while sautéing garlic.
