My Salt and Pepper Crispy Tofu has a wonderfully addicting flavor with amazingly crunchy texture! Many of you might have already tried this popular Chinese Tofu dish in Chinese restaurants or have ordred this as Chinese takeouts. Actually, Salt and Pepper Tofu is so easy to make at home with very simple ingredients that you can find in your kitchen. With the simple ingredients in hand, you can also be as creative as you like!
I love the special Sichuan touch of Salt and Pepper Mix that you can also find it in Broccoli-nudler med havsalt og sichuanpeber til kylling. The crispy bites of Tofu are perfect for snacking as well. For this recipe, you can add in veggies of your choice to make the dish as healthy and colorful as you please.
If you love Tofu and want to know more, there are so many ways of cooking Tofu. You can check out my Sød, krydret og sprød koreansk tofu, og The Devil’s Mapo Tofu. Oh, you can also combine Tofu with noodles together. You will be surprised how sensational this Mapo Tofu Ramen is.
SALT- OG PEBERBLANDING
Til salt- og peberblandingen bruger jeg både sichuanpeberkorn og sorte peberkorn for at få den bedst mulige aroma og smag. Til saltet bør du altid bruge havsalt og ikke almindeligt salt. Hvis du kan, anbefaler jeg, at du laver salt- og peberblandingen fra bunden i stedet for at købe den i butikken. Det er virkelig hurtigt og nemt at lave derhjemme. Du vil blive så glad, hvis du har prøvet det selv.
