Cold Tofu with Soy Sauce

Learn how to make cold tofu with soy sauce, a quick and flavorful Chinese dish.

Ingredients

200 g pressed tofu, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 red bell pepper.

Seasonings

Ginger, garlic, scallion, light soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil, each to taste.

Instructions

1. Slice the pressed tofu, boil in water for 2 minutes, then remove and rinse under cold water before draining; wash and dry green and red chili peppers, flatten them with a knife, and remove the seeds; finely mince ginger and garlic; chop scallions into small pieces.

2. Place the pan over heat, add a little oil, and put the flattened green and red chili peppers in, skin side down. Cook over low heat, pressing the peppers down with a spatula to ensure good contact with the pan. When the peppers develop a charred, tiger-skin pattern, remove and let cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin and shred the peppers into strips.

3. Place the sliced chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and scallions in a bowl with the dried tofu pieces, then add salt, light soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil to taste, and toss everything together until well combined.
