Yummy Chilli Dip

chilli dip

My mum brought two pieces of wu xiang tau kwa (五香豆干) for me yesterday when she came and so I had to figure out what to do with them for dinner today. After pondering for awhile, I decided to fry the tau kwa and pair it with a chilli sauce for dipping.

This dip is sweet yet tangy, unmistakably spicy yet not overwhelmingly so… 😛

Do give it a try! 🙂
