Salt/Pepper Tofu with Five Spice Powder - especially for vegetarians.
Rinse and drain a block of tofu, pat dry, lightly coat with cornstarch flavoured with salt, white pepper & five spice powder. Pan fry in shallow oil till lightly golden. Put aside. Fry shallots & garlic till golden brown and crispy. Add to tofu and add some fresh chillies. The chillies will definitely mask the light fresh flavour of the tofu; I actually added them for colour and for their heat to lightly adhere to the tofu; and did not actually eat them. This morsel of tofu/chillies/shallots/garlic is purely an attempt to food style; the chillies were discarded after.
Enjoy!
(For extra flavour, add some salt and five spice powder to a half a teaspoon fresh oil and warm gently through - drizzle a few drops of this flavoured oil on the tofu). This recipe really cannot get any easier.
