    Title: Asian Spicy Tofu
    Categories: Chinese, Tofu
    Yield: 1 Batch

    800 g Firm; fresh tofu
    Corn flour; to dust the tofu
    Vegetable oil; for frying
    150 g Butter
    12 sm Shallots (350 g); peeled
    -and thinly sliced
    8 Red chillies; thinly sliced
    12 cl Garlic; crushed
    3 tb Ginger; chopped
    5 tb Black peppercorns; crushed
    3 tb Sweet soy sauce
    3 tb Light soy sauce
    4 ts Dark soy sauce
    2 tb Sugar
    16 sm Spring onions; cut into
    -segments 3 cm long

    Cut the tofu into 3x2 cm blocks and toss them in corn flour, shaking
    off the excess. Pour in enough oil to come 0.5 cm up the sides of a
    large frying pan, and bring up to frying heat. Fry the tofu in
    batches in the oil, turning the pieces as you go. Once they are
    golden all around, and have a thin crust, transfer to a paper towel.

    Remove the oil and any sediment from the pan and throw in the butter.
    Once it has melted, add the shallots, chillies, garlic, and ginger,
    and sauté for about 15 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring
    occasionally, until the contents of the pan are shiny and totally
    soft. While you wait, crush the peppercorns, using a pestle and
    mortar or a spice grinder. They should be quite coarse.

    When the shallots and chillies are soft, add the soy sauces and the
    sugar, stir, then stir in the crushed pepper. Warm the tofu in the
    sauce for about a minute, then add the spring onion and stir through.
    Serve hot with steamed rice.

    Title: Asian Spicy Tofu

    I'm back to not being able to eat any protein except eggs, cheese and
    fish. So I'm going to give this a shot, I like tofu sometimes and this
    looks like a way to eat it. LOL

    Glad to be of service!

    My sister showed me a trick where she doctored up a tofu scramble with
    Indian black salt, among other things. The black salt gives it a slightly sulfuric flavor, making it taste just like eggs.
