Instructions

Ferment the tofu

Slice tofu into 1-inch blocks. Place in a single layer in a bamboo steamer lined with straw (or parchment). Leave at room temperature 5-6 hours in a humid spot. The tofu will develop white fuzzy mold — that's the good stuff.

Pan-fry and season

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Pan-fry fermented tofu 3 min per side until golden. Sprinkle with Sichuan pepper powder, chili powder, and salt. Toss with scallions and serve immediately.
