Thousand-layer tofu with pepper and sesame seeds--a delicious summer side dish

Overview

Everyone knows the famous Xinjiang dish, Big Plate Chicken, but in fact, Pepper Chicken is even more popular in summer. In recent years, many people have added Thousand Layer Tofu to Pepper Chicken - it’s like Big Plate Chicken meets White Noodles! Barbecue meets cumin! Every time my husband buys a portion of peppercorn chicken, he eats the chicken and I eat the thousand-layer tofu. I really think it tastes better than the chicken! Just try it at home with only Thousand Layer Tofu mixed with peppercorn chicken sauce...and you're done!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 I bought a box of Thousand Layer Tofu from the supermarket and sliced it

   

2. 2 I don’t know if this Thousand Layer Tofu is raw. I boiled it for 10 minutes and it felt like it was cooked a bit too long. When it stopped bouncing, I quickly soaked it in cold water and it became firmer again.

   

3. 3 Prepare the sauce: cut onions, scallions, and green peppers into shreds. Boil some of the peppercorns in water and pour them into the prepared mixture. Then use part of the peppercorns and add dried chili peppers to the pot, and then pour it into the mixture. I'm afraid it won't be numb. If you don't want to bother, just boil the peppercorns in water, and pour it with hot oil. Add salt and add white vinegar. It depends on personal taste. White vinegar mainly enhances the flavor. Mainly the peppery flavor

   

4. 4 Finally, put the Thousand Layer Tofu into the mixed sauce! Let the tofu absorb the aroma of pepper and sesame! So flavorful and refreshing! It’s also great without chicken!
