This recipe is adapted from a local tofu maker that frequents neighborhood farmers markets. It's vegetarian and vegan friendly and tastes great - even non-vegetarians love it! Spicy garlic sauce is a staple ingredient in many Vietnamese dishes and creates a spicy-sweet combination with the brown sugar.
