Salt and pepper tofu is a delicious local snack belonging to Shandong cuisine. It is simple to make and the main ingredient is tofu. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique flavor. Tofu has high nutritional value and high protein content.
Use a knife to cut the tofu into pieces. Add 1 cup of water to the five-spice powder and mix it into pepper and salt water. Soak the tofu for 10 minutes until it is well-flavored, then steam it for 3 minutes until cooked. Chop the green onion and red pepper, add pepper salt (made by frying five-spice powder and salt) and pepper powder, mix well, stuff it on the tofu, and finally sprinkle with a layer of cornstarch. Heat the oil, put the tofu in over high heat, simmer over low heat, then fry over high heat until golden brown.
