Fried Tofu in Tomato Sauce / Dau Hu Sot Ca Chua
I want to preface this entry by saying that I'm a carnivore, through and through - and what that means is that I need to have some kind of meat with every single meal. Otherwise, it just doesn't really feel like a complete meal. The one exception to that rule, though, is Đậu Hũ Sốt
