Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Chili oil - 1 tablespoon

• Brown sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1.5 cm thick slices.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil to make the marinade.
