I need to try this, been really craving tofu lately. Thanks for the idea!
yum, one of my favorite dishes too! i started with the recipe from serious eats, but didn’t think it had enough sauce. tweaked it to roughly triple the sauce to look like about what you have there.
What happened to the color? It’s supposed to be orangey brown from the oils and spices.
Sometimes everything doesn’t come out exactly as it looks on a recipe site (:
Do you have a recipe? Is that chilli at the bottom a placed topping there or is it mixed through the dish?
This is the recipe I used.
Keep in mind I don’t generally follow recipes to a tee, I will gather the same ingredients and kinda find what makes logical sense when making the food.
The “chilis” are Szechuan peppercorns. They have a numbing effect on your tongue that I didn’t particularly like, so I added less.
