1. In a small mixing bowl, add sugar. Add 4 tbsp warm water to help dissolve the sugar. Add 2.5 tbsp fish sauce and combine well. Add your sliced green onions. Set aside. 2. In a large pan, add enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium-high. Once hot, add your tofu (do not overcrowd) and fry until golden brown on both sides - 4-5 minutes per side. 3. Once golden, remove the tofu from the frying pan and toss directly into the fish sauce mixture. Make sure both sides are coated and plate. Remove the tofu from the fish sauce bowl and plate. Repeat process until all tofu pieces are cooked and coated in the fish sauce. 4. Serve this with a side of hot rice.
