Ainesosat ja vaihdot

All you need to make this Chinese tofu dish are a few ingredients and under 20 minutes.

• Extra Firm Tofu – Pressed to remove water. Some firm tofu you can buy in popular grocery stores aren’t very firm and need to be pressed for a long time to extract their water. This is essential for the texture of the dish.
• Maissitärkkelys – paksuuden osalta.
• Szechuan Peppercorn – Despite its name, this spice is completely unrelated to pepper or even chili.
• Inkivääri ja Valkosipulijauhe – maun vuoksi.
• Sesame Oil – Sesame oil brings the best flavors, but you can also use peanut oil or any oil you love using to fry food. Canola oil is often used in Chinese restaurants.
• Soijakastike or tamari sauce.
• Sriracha-kastike – to give it zing. You can also use chili paste.
• Vaahterasiirappi – You can use other sweeteners as well such as brown sugar, coconut nectar, or coconut sugar.
• Chinese Five Spices Powder – This is key to getting the classic flavor.
• Kiinalainen ruoanlaittoviini or mirin
• Chilihiutaleet

How To Make Szechuan Tofu

1. First, you need to press the tofu to remove its moisture. Wrap it into paper towels, or place it in a tofu press.
2. Place a heavy weight on top of the tofu to help the moisture come out. Then, set it aside for 10 minutes or until the towel is wet and the tofu is dry.
3. Place the tofu blocks on a chopping board and cut them into cubes.
4. In a large bowl, add cornstarch, garlic powder, Szechuan pepper, and ginger.
5. Toss the tofu in the cornstarch mixture until all the sides of the cubes are well coated. Set aside.
6. Whisk all the Szechuan sauce ingredients in another bowl until no more lumps of cornstarch can be seen.
7. Warm a large cast iron skillet or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
8. Add the tofu pieces and stir fry for 5 to 6 minutes, shaking the pan often until all the cubes are crispy. Add more oil if needed to ensure crispy tofu bites.
9. Add the sauce to the wok. It will sizzle, so reduce to low-medium heat, stir, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes until the sauce is sticky and glossy.
10. Taste the sauce and adjust adding a pinch of salt, or more chili flakes if not spicy enough.
