Step 1
Cut the deep-fried tofu into thin strips.

Important Notes
💡 Dry-roasting the deep-fried tofu before seasoning enhances its aroma and helps it absorb the flavors better.
⚠️ Squeezing out the excess water from the somen is the most important step to prevent the sauce from becoming diluted and ensure it stays delicious until the last bite.
