Step 4: Prepare a bowl, add a spoonful of oyster sauce, a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of starch, half a bowl of water, stir evenly, pour it into the pot, turn to medium and high heat to boil, and reduce the juice.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve on a plate. A spicy braised tofu with a golden color and rich aroma is ready. The outside is charred and the inside is tender, the mouth is fresh and fragrant, and it goes well with rice.
(1) Tender tofu is more suitable for making this spicy braised tofu than old tofu, and the taste is more tender.
(2), spicy tofu without pepper and chili pepper is soulless, even if you can't eat spicy, it is recommended that you add a little more, and the taste will be improved immediately.
(3) Finally, it is necessary to add some braised starch juice to simmer and collect the juice, which can make the tofu more flavorful and lock the umami. Oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and bean paste all have salt, but in fact, no salt is enough for saltiness.
