    I use S&B curry! It's by far the best I've tried. A box makes around 3-4 servings so I store leftover curry cubes in the freezer. I get them from local Japanese/Asian groceries but they're also avaialble online :) these are the cubes - amzn.to/2qUzwaF

    is there a reason why you fried the whole tofu instead of cutting it into strips first and then frying the individual strips? Just curious if that makes it better in some way, thanks
