Stir Fried Spiced Tofu

Cut the tofu into cubes and fry them in a pot of oil until they turn golden brown, then remove and drain the excess oil.

Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, add scallions, ginger, garlic, and 2 pieces of cassia, and stir-fry until fragrant.

Add the fried tofu, gently stir-fry a few times, then pour in boiling water to cover the tofu.

Add soy sauce, cinnamon, 2 pieces of cassia, Sichuan peppercorns, salt, and sugar (optional, according to personal taste), and gently stir to mix well.

Cover the pot, simmer over low heat (the longer the stewing time, the more flavorful it will be).

When the water is almost dry, add an appropriate amount of chicken essence.
