Cut tofu skin into shorter pieces for easier frying.

Heat cooking oil in a pan until moderately hot.

Fry the tofu skin pieces until they are golden brown on the outside.

Prepare a bowl of water and soak the fried tofu skin for 45 minutes to 1 hour to soften it.

After soaking, drain and squeeze out excess water from the tofu skin until dry.

Chop lemongrass and chili into small pieces.

In a pan, heat some cooking oil and sauté the chopped lemongrass and chili until fragrant.

Add turmeric powder to the pan and mix well until the mixture is aromatic and slightly darkened.

Add the prepared tofu skin to the pan and stir gently over low heat to avoid burning.

Pour in about 2 cups of water to cover the tofu skin and let it simmer.

Season with soy sauce and sugar, adjusting to taste for a richer flavor.

Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens.

Serve with fresh vegetables like cucumber on the side.
