SIMPOL COOKING NOTES:

• For extra texture, press the tofu before frying to remove excess moisture.

• Make it vegan by swapping out mayonnaise and margarine with plant-based alternatives.

• Use silken tofu for a creamier, melt-in-your-mouth version—just handle gently.

• Sizzling Tofu Ala Max’s is perfect as a side dish, pulutan, or even a main for vegetarians.
