Crisp Tofu with Sweet Spicy Sauce Tahu Gejrot

When I’m far away from one of the places I consider home, I find myself missing
certain dishes. Not the fancy, sophisticated ones served in the top hotels, but the
everyday foods found in quaint little roadside stalls. Crisp Tofu with Sweet and Spicy
Sauce is as down home and pedestrian as it gets. Deep fried tofu cubes come out
fantastically crisp on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. Dipped in a lusciously
sweet and spicy sauce, this is such a delicioius appetizer it’s hard to believe that it is
so easy to make.
