- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt to taste
- Green onions chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until all sides are golden brown. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.

- Put the fried tofu back into the pan with the tomato sauce. Gently stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the flavors.
