Spicy stir-fried tofu with chilies is a versatile and flavorful dish loved for its crispy texture and bold taste. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it.
Ingredients:
- 200g firm tofu, cubed and pressed
- 3-4 dried chilies (sliced, adjust for spice)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Optional: Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, or bell peppers.
Steps:
1. Prep the tofu: Press tofu to remove excess water, then pan-fry cubes until golden on all sides. Set aside.
2. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a wok, add dried chilies and garlic (and Sichuan peppercorns if using). Stir-fry until fragrant.
3. Combine ingredients: Return tofu to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss quickly to coat evenly.
4. Finish and serve: Stir in scallions or bell peppers for color. Cook for 1 minute more. Serve hot with rice.
Tips: For extra crunch, double-fry the tofu. Adjust spice levels by removing chili seeds. This dish pairs well with noodles or as a side. Enjoy this quick, fiery meal that’s both satisfying and easy to customize!
