A new way to eat tofu: the practice of spicy tofu buns

Tofu is often eaten, sometimes fried, sometimes stewed, and sometimes tofu is also used to make vegetarian stuffed buns. But today's approach is a little different, this time the tofu-filled buns are made spicy. There's something special about it, so let's take a look at how I do it.

Preparation of spicy tofu buns

First Striker:

Put 400 grams of flour and 3 grams of sugar in a basin; Add 3 grams of yeast to about 220 ml of warm water and let it sit for a while to dissolve the yeast.

Then mix the dough with the melted yeast water: stir with chopsticks while pouring the water, stir it into a flocculent shape, and then mix it into a dough. Cover and let rise until twice the size.

Adjust the stuffing while the dough is rising

Ingredients Required:

Tofu, Sichuan pepper powder, chili oil, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, thirteen spices, sugar, chicken essence, minced green onion, minced ginger, coriander

1. Cut the tofu into small pieces.

Remove from the pot and put in the water, add a little salt, put in the cut tofu after the water boils, blanch the water for two minutes, remove and put it in a basin.

2. Add chopped green onion and minced ginger; Then add the peppercorn powder; Pour the hot oil over chopped green onions, minced ginger and peppercorns to bring out the fragrance.

Then add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, thirteen spices, sugar, chicken essence and chili oil.

Stir to combine.

Finally, add a little chopped coriander according to personal preference (you can leave it out if you don't like it)

Mix well when the buns are wrapped

3. Take out the awakened dough and put it on the cutting board to knead the dough and exhaust it, put it into a medium size dough, and roll it into a slightly thicker dough in the middle.

4. Let the wrapped buns rise for another 10 minutes.

Cook on cold water, steam for 12 minutes, turn off the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, remove from the pot.

Tips:

Because light soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili oil, etc. are salty, there is no salt added separately.

The amount of chili oil can be added in an appropriate amount according to your taste.
