Spicy Qianzhang

Spicy Qianzhang
What I made in the previous paragraph is spicy pork slices, which are meat side dishes. This time, I took care of my vegetarian friends and specially added a vegan dish. It's the same practice, but the main ingredients are changed and the bean skins are used. We will use the bean skins to make a "spicy thousand sheets". Why is it called Spicy Qianzhang? Because friends in many places in the south call very thin bean skins "Qianzhang", so they named it "Spicy Qianzhang". Again, see for yourself, if you eat vegan and like to eat strong flavors, this dish is the most suitable for you. Even monks can eat it, haha!

    Characteristics of Spicy Dried Tofu Sheets: Bright red color, appetizing appearance, salty, savory, sour, and sweet, spicy and numbing, chewy texture, endless aftertaste. Tips: 1. This recipe is similar to spicy pork slices; it is best to choose mild dried tofu sheets. 2. The sauce must be reduced until dry for a rich flavor; stir frequently during the final steps to avoid burning. 3. The flavor would be even better if you add a small piece of cinnamon bark (about 3g) and a piece of dried tangerine peel (15g); I didn't add them because I ran out at home, but it doesn't affect the deliciousness. 4. You can also cut the dried tofu sheets into 3mm thick strips; it turns out quite good too, then it's called "Spicy Dried Tofu Strips," hehe! Vegetarian friends, see what you think, it tastes great, hope you like it!
