Fried Tofu Fingers Delicious Recipes

I tried this dish in a restaurant back home and I find it really tasty. I remember seeing the recipe in one of the blog I frequent but I forgot who it was. So I have to recreates it based on the ingredients I remember in my kitchen. Actually this dish turns out better than I expected. I hope you will give it a try as is not that difficult to make.
