Ingredients
- 1 pound firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil (plus 1 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon scallion (chopped)
Instructions
- Open the package of tofu and place on a plate to drain for 10 minutes. Slice it into ¾-inch thick pieces. Use a mortar and pestle to roughly crush the cumin seeds and add the Sichuan peppercorn powder if using, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Combine 1 teaspoon oil, hoisin, and soy sauce in small bowl. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat and carefully place the tofu in the pan.
- Next, sprinkle about half of the dried spices evenly over the tofu and let cook for 3-5 minutes. When the bottom is golden brown, flip the tofu. Brush the tofu with about half of the sauce and sprinkle over the rest of the spices. Cook for 3 minutes and flip the tofu over again.
- Brush the other side with the remaining sauce, sprinkle with scallion and cilantro, and serve.
