    1. While pan-frying the tofu over low heat, you can prepare the other ingredients. 2. When sautéing minced garlic and dried chili peppers, wait for the aroma to release before adding the ingredients, as dried chili peppers burn easily. 3. Fermented black beans are salty, so taste as you cook to see if you need to add any more salt. 4. You can pair the tofu with various seasonal vegetables; just add whatever you like.
