Fried Tofu with Chilli Peanut Sauce

There's one popular local snack food called “Hey-Pia" 虾饼, in which other than the crispy deep fried prawn pastry, another key element to this dish is the chilli dipping sauce. In fact, as long as the chilli dipping sauce is good, anything dipped in it will taste great!

This is another fast and easy preparation that you can try at home anytime. A good idea for those rushing to get dinner ready after a long day of work, or a fast appetizer for any friends and family gathering. Furthermore, tofu with its high protein value, is suitable for people of all ages. This dish can also be a good substitute of "Hey-Pia" for vegetarians.
