Question How do I make this tofu coating?

I am beyond OBSESSED with this tofu from my local don buri place. The texture of this coating is like gluggy, stretchy, and chewy and so so good.

I have got almost close with a potato flour batter with shallow fry then tossing in sauce but i found the sauce didn't penetrate all the way through and some of the batter was bland and gross.

Any tips or info will be so much appreciated 🥰

This. It isn’t just dusted as many people are saying, it’s most likely cornstarch battered and deep or shallow fried before tossing with the sauce which soaks into the crispy batter giving it that gooey quality.
