Categories     Main Course

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 19

450 g soft tofu ( ,I am using Szechuan tender lushui tofu)
100 g minced meat-beef or pork
1/2 tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. cooking oil ( , divided)
1.5 tbsp. Doubanjiang ( ,roughly chopped)
1/2 tbsp. fermented black beans ( ,also known as dou-chi and fermented soya beans, roughly chopped)
1 tbsp. pepper flakes or powder ( ,optional)
1/2 tbsp. Sichuan pepper for making fresh ground powder
water or broth for braising ( ,I use 400ml this time)
1 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar ( ,optional for reducing the spiciness)
2 scallion whites ( ,finely chopped)
4 garlic greens or scallion greens ( ,finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves ( ,finely chopped)
5 ginger slices ( ,finely minced (around 1 teaspoon))
2 and 1/2 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
steamed rice for serving

Steps:

  • Add a small pinch of salt and ground pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Cut tofu into square cubes (around 2cms). Bring a large amount of water to a boil and then add a pinch of salt. Slide the tofu in and cook for 1 minute. Move out and drain.
  • Get a wok and heat up around 2 tablespoons of oil, fry the minced meat until crispy. Transfer out beef out and leave the oil in. Add another 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon of vegetable cooking oil and fry doubanjiang for 1 minute over slow fire until the red turns red (bring us a lovely red color dish) and add fermented black beans,  garlic, scallion white, ginger and fermented black beans to cook for 30 seconds until aroma. Optionally  mix pepper flakes in. Pepper flakes should be added at the end because it contains little water and can be burnt easily.  
  • Then pour in water or stock. Add light soy sauce, sugar and half of the cooked beef (providing more flavors to the soup) after the broth boils and let it continue simmering for 2-3 minutes. Place the tofu in, simmer for another 6-8 minutes. The longer time of simmering helps the tofu to absorb the flavors.  
  • During the process of simmering, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2.5 tablespoons of water in a small bowl to make water starch. Stir the water starch and then pour half of the mixture to the simmering pot. Back push and wait for around 30 seconds and then pour the other half. You can slightly taste the tofu and add pinch of salt if not salty enough.  Add cooked beef to creates some crispy texture and then drizzle sesame oil. Mix well. 
  • Transfer out when almost all the seasonings stick to tofu cubes. Sprinkle Szechuan peppercorn powder (to taste)and chopped garlic greens if using.
  • Serve immediately with steamed rice.

SZECHUAN TOFU WITH CAULIFLOWER RECIPE | COOKING LIGHT
We combine everything you love about Chinese takeout—the sweet, savory, spicy sauce; the super-crispy tofu; and the crisp-tender, perfectly caramelized vegetables—into one quick vegetarian main. Celery takes on a leading role rather than a base ingredient here: It maintains its crunch, adds a natural saltiness, and is a nice foil to the more robust flavors in the dish. Szechuan here refers to the stir-fry method rather than a tingling, chile-laden heat. If you want more spice, swap the crushed red pepper for one or two very thinly sliced Thai red chiles.
