Green tea fried tofu is made by frying the tofu first until it becomes crispy and delicious. Then sprinkle green tea powder on the outside. A delicious dish is ready!

200g tofu

Seasoning

30g coriander, 40g sesame paste, 1 piece fermented bean curd (red), 4g salt, 3g cinnamon, 1 star anise , 10 grams of shallots, 15 grams of chili oil, and appropriate amount of salad oil

Step 1 of braised and fried tofu

Cut the tofu into 2.5 to 3 cm square pieces

Step 2?

Stir the bean curd into a thin paste. If there is no fermented bean curd soup, use cold boiling water to stir the lumpy bean curd into thin paste.

Step 3

Heat the oil in the pot (use chopsticks to stick into the oil pot, and there will be dense bubbles around the chopsticks), and put the cut tofu cubes into the oil pot

Steps 4?

Fry the tofu over medium-low heat until golden brown and take it out. When frying the tofu, do not stir the tofu with chopsticks in the pot at the beginning to avoid breaking the tofu. Wait until the tofu forms a hard shell before stirring. It doesn't matter, it won't stick together (you can fry more tofu at a time and refrigerate or freeze it for ready use)

Step 5

Put the soup pot into the old soup (chicken soup, large soup) Bone broth will do.

If you don’t have it, you can put cold water directly, but the old soup tastes better) and the fried tofu

Step 6?

Pour in the bean curd juice (I used the red bean curd soup) 1 spoon and half a piece of fermented bean curd)

Step 7

Add green onions, star anise and cinnamon, add salt after boiling, taste the saltiness, turn to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes , to make the tofu delicious

Step 8

When cooking the tofu, put the sesame paste in a bowl, add cold boiled water in batches and stir into a paste, cut the coriander into small pieces, and chop the chive leaves. Finished

Step 9?

Put the cooked tofu into a bowl, top with sesame sauce, chili oil, sprinkle with coriander and minced green onions, mix well and it’s ready to eat (I think Directly put the sesame paste, chili oil, coriander and chopped green onion into the pot, stir well and then turn off the heat. Although it looks a little different, it tastes better)

Dish Features

This old-fashioned braised fried tofu tastes very good. Originally, deep-frying is unhealthy cooking, but after the fried tofu is slow-cooked over low heat, it is not greasy at all. And because the fried tofu has a soft texture inside, it is filled with soup after cooking, making it very soft and tasty. The crispy outer shell will not fall apart due to cooking, but will become chewier. We usually cook it When making the soup, you won’t think of adding fermented bean curd, sesame paste, chili oil, etc., which add a very special taste to this soup~~
