How to Cook Recipes Salt and Pepper Tofu using 11 ingredients and 2 steps

Salt and Pepper Tofu - Chinese salt and pepper is slightly different from the familiar salt and ground pepper. The tofu is seasoned simply with a salt and white pepper mix. White pepper is used in Chinese dishes because it has a more mild flavor compared to black pepper. I garnished the dish with a little bit of fresh ground black pepper, but the tofu crust is seasoned with salt and white pepper. Cut the tofu in half down the centre like a book.

Salt and pepper tofu has a smoky aroma and charred surface.

Salt and Pepper Tofu - This version pan-fries tofu to crispy perfection and tossed with fragrant scallions, garlic and red chilies and a special mix of spices. Place the tofu into a mixing bowl, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper mix and toss gently. I consider the salt and pepper tofu from Northwest Tofu in Seattle the best tofu I've had in the Western hemisphere and tried to recreate it at home. It's a simple enough dish—tofu dusted with starch, salt, and pepper, and then deep fried—but that description barely does it justice. The crust is super thin and light, but full of crispy texture and perfectly seasoned. Place on cutting board and cut tofu into squares or rectangles, as desired. Add the vegetable or canola oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Thank you and good luck
