STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Steps:
- Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

THE BEST PAN-FRIED TOFU
I have had MANY people ask me how I pan fry my tofu and get it so crispy and firm. There are a few reasons why:-). First I either use a non-stick or cast iron pan, I don't overcrowd the surface, I drain my tofu REALLY well, use only extra firm Chinese style and MOST important of all, I leave it undisturbed while cooking and this allows the golden crust we all love on pan-fried tofu to develop! Please find detailed instructions below on how to make the best pan-fried tofu ever!

Steps:
- Take your block of tofu and wrap it in several layers of paper towels.
- Gently press the tofu with your hands or against the counter top to release the liquid. This will take about a minute.
- Slice the tofu into pieces about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Set tofu aside.
- If you are using a non-stick pan heat it slightly on medium-high heat (about 30 seconds) before adding oil.
- If you are using a cast iron pan, please heat for about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes on medium-high heat. Cast iron is very thick and you want the pan to be heated evenly before adding the tofu.
- Add oil to heated pan.
- Gently spread oil over the entire surface of the pan.
- Set the tofu pieces in the pan, leaving ample room between them. They should sizzle when placed in the oil. Sprinkle the tops with salt and a little cayenne pepper.
- Now, the MOST IMPORTANT step is -- LEAVE THEM ALONE for about 6 or 7 minutes. Just gently shake them to make sure they don't stick to the pan. Do NOT turn them or agitate them in any other way. When you see a golden crust beginning to creep its way up the sides of the slices, turn them and spice the other side. Add more oil if the pan seems too dry.
- The second side will only take about 4 minutes to cook.
- When they are evenly browned take them out of the pan and place them on paper towels to drain.
- These are very simply seasoned and basic and can now be used any way you like. I like these with steamed broccoli and peanut sauce -- or in a sandwich with grilled peppers and mushrooms and aioli -- or just eaten with ketchup:-).

- Stinky tofu. It has a powerful smell, yet it’s one of the favorites that people like. The truth is that you have stinky tofu being smelly, and that’s justified.
- Salmon fishbone tofu soup. Here again, you have a milky yet delicious soup packed with flavors, and it’s further nutritious with the goodness from both the salmon and the tofu.
- General Tso tofu. Here is a healthy option of the tofu you can use. So in most cases, you will have it being almost the same as the chicken tso tofu. The vegetarian version is generally great, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat this one—notice though that the Tofu is one of the healthier choices to use.
- Sweet tofu. Notice that this is a smooth and silky choice of tofu that you may use as a desert. This is not the ones that they use to make the savory tofu.
- Salty or sweet douhua. When you like to try the more dairy-like pudding, then this is what you ought to make. Tofu pudding is a versatile choice of meal that you find delicious.
- Homestyle tofu. Notice that there are so many ways to make the different styles of tofu. Notice, though, that the sauce recipe is one of my favorite choices of meals you can make.
- Authentic Mapo tofu. Traditionally a Sichuanese tofu meal style, this is one of the best global dishes. In most cases then they make the tofu with beef and pork but with different seasonings and chili.
- Kung pao tofu. This will be the alternative to the kung pao chicken in that the tofu type is a rich vegan type. We like the flavors and the rich tastes of the tofu style of the meal.
- Pipa tofu recipe. Even when you are making the tofu style of meal, you should know it’s all versatile. As you can see by now, you can make different recipes, and pipa tofu is one of the major ones.
- Pan-fried sesame garlic tofu. Here is one of my best tofu styles. If you haven’t tried this tofu style, then you haven’t checked on the different best tofus or, let’s say, this type of tofu.
