Tips:
1. Most importantly, the hot red oil doubanjiang sauce is very salty; do not add too much, remember not to add salt again, only a little dark soy sauce is needed.Also, add some sugar to balance its saltiness.
2. Do not simmer the tofu for too long; do not reduce the broth too much.Some juice sticking to the tofu makes it more delicious.
