Langkah-langkah memasak Tahu Gejrot (Fried Tofu in Sweet Spicy Sauce) :

1. Sprinkle a pinch of salt to each pieces of tofu. Set aside..
2. You can use the shallow or deep-fry technique, but ensure that the oil is sufficient for making it to have the hollow and spongy texture. Use the medium flame and make sure the oil is really hot when you place the tofu onto it..
3. Let it for several minutes. Once the bottom parts are getting golden and crispy, carefully flip them over by using the spatula. Allow it for several minutes until the golden color also spreaded over the bottom parts..
4. Flip it over. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for a minute. Then flip it again. Do the same step for several times until the white color of the surface of the tofu has gone perfectly. It will be golden and crisps all over the tofu. But let to cook and flip until you get it looks puffy. Well, the key here just flipping and flipping over until pluffy yet crispy..
5. Take the fried tofu by a metal strainer and dice them. Arrange them onto a serving bowl or plate. Set aside..
6. By using a mortar and pestle, crush the chilis, tamarind paste, pinch of salt, shrimp paste, brown sugar and granulated sugar. It doesn't need to be a very soft paste. Add the sliced shallots and crush it for a while. Add the lukewarm water and stir them until well combined. Pour it over the fried tofu. Serve immediately !.
7. NOTE : You can substitute the gula aren/gula melaka with the granulated sugar. But make sure to adjust the taste. It should be dominantly sweet, spicy and sour. And the usage of salt just a tiny-weeny bit here..
