  3. Heat oil in a pot until hot enough (at least 160°C/320°F).
  4. Carefully add a few pieces of coated tofu at a time and fry until golden brown.
To Prepare the Sauce
  1. Melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic, curry leaves, and red chili until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the mashed salted egg yolks into the fragrant mixture until bubbly and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust the sauce with sugar and optional fish sauce.
  4. Pour the sauce generously over the fried tofu and serve with steamed white rice.
