This homemade tofu stir-fry is a flavorful and comforting dish that combines tender tofu cubes with savory ground beef, all coated in a rich, aromatic sauce. The tofu is first blanched to remove any beany taste, ensuring a smooth texture, then stir-fried with ginger-infused beef and a blend of umami-packed bean paste and oyster sauce. A touch of Sichuan peppercorns adds a subtle, tingling heat, while sugar balances the flavors perfectly. The tofu soaks up the delicious sauce as it simmers, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Easy to make yet packed with depth, this dish is a satisfying meal that pairs wonderfully with steamed rice. Perfect for weeknight dinners, it’s a must-try for anyone who loves bold, comforting flavors!
