DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Prepare sauce and ingredients:

Take a bowl, add 10 grams of sesame paste and 10 grams of yuba juice, add 5 grams of salt and 5 grams of sugar, pour in 5 milliliters of chili oil, and stir well for later use.

Step 2

Ingredient processing:

Chop 10 grams of chinese chive blossoms and 10 grams of Cilantro. Cut 300 grams of tofu into triangular pieces of uniform size.

Step 3

Fry tofu:

Heat a pan and pour in an appropriate amount of oil. Heat it to 80% hot. Put the cut tofu pieces in and fry until the surface is golden and the skin is crispy. Remove it with a slotted spoon and drain off the oil.

Step 4

Sauté spices:

Leave a little base oil in the pan. Put 10 grams of scallions, 10 grams of ginger slices, 4 star anise, 5 grams of Sichuan peppercorns and 1 chinese cardamom in. Stir-fry quickly over low heat to fully release the aroma of the spices.

Step 5

Marinate tofu:

Pour in a small half pot of water into the pan. After boiling over high heat, pour in the fried tofu. Cover the pot and turn to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes to let the tofu fully absorb the flavor of the marinade.

Step 6

Serve:

Open the lid. Take out the marinated tofu and place it on a plate. Pour in the previously prepared sauce and then sprinkle with chopped chinese chive blossoms and Cilantro. The delicious Fried Tofu can be served.
