Tahu, Cabe Ijo, dan Saus Tauco (Tofu & Green Chilies in Tauco Sauce)

Ingredients:
4 Chinese fried tofu (cut them in small square)
2 of sliced Anaheim peppers*
4 cloves of chopped garlic
2 cloves of chopped shallots
3 Tbs of tauco**
2 Tbs of sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1/2 cup of water
Salt & pepper
2 Tbs of olive oil

How to make:
1. In a medium heat; pour olive oil and add garlic and shallot onto saute pan. Let them soften.
2. Add sliced tofu, tauco, sweet soy sauce, water, salt and pepper. Stir them. Let them simmered until the tofu absorbs the sauce.
3. Add the Anaheim pepper. To avoid too much evaporation of the sauce before the pepper soften, cover the pan to let all the ingredients cooked.
4. Ready to serve.

Do not use Japanese silken tofu because they are too soft for this recipe. Find Chinese fried tofu that has a lot of pores so that it can absorb as much sauce as possible.

* I used Anaheim pepper because it is very mild. You can use other types of hotter green chilly. 
** Tauco is salted soy bean. It normally comes in a glass jar. Some of them are in paste, and some others are still in beans with salted water. You can use either one of them.
