Step 3: Stir-Fry Tomatoes and Finish the Dish

• Continue by placing the pan back on the stove and sauté the green onions with a little cooking oil until fragrant.

• When the tomatoes have softened and formed a smooth, thick sauce, add the fried tofu and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the flavors.
