Fried Tofu

This crispy and fragrant Sichuan-style fried tofu is a mouthwatering dish that’s perfect with porridge or rice! Thick slices of tofu are pan-fried until golden brown, creating a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender. Infused with the bold flavors of Sichuan peppercorns and aromatic Chinese cloves, every bite delivers a delightful numbing spice and deep fragrance. Optional scallions add a fresh, bright finish. The tofu simmers briefly in the seasoned oil, then steeps for hours to soak up all the rich, spicy flavors. The result? A savory, aromatic dish with layers of texture and taste—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with Sichuan-inspired warmth. Quick to prepare yet deeply flavorful, this tofu recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves bold, authentic Asian flavors!
