Firm Outside, Tender Inside -- Medium-Firm Tofu

The shallot is very large, cut 2 slices of shallot, crush the garlic, cut the green onion into sections, reserving 2 green parts for decoration, and cut the rest into sections;

Cut the tofu into pieces about 2 cm square and fry them in a pan over medium heat.

Fry until golden brown, occasionally turning the tofu while frying to ensure even color, then place it on a plate once done;

Heat some oil in a pot, add 2 stalks of green onions, 2 slices of red onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and 3 small chili peppers, and sauté until fragrant;

Add 1.5 tablespoons of light soy sauce, letting it directly touch the pan to release the aroma of the soy sauce;

Then add 1.5 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/3 teaspoon of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 tablespoon of Sichuan pepper powder, and 1/3 cup of water. Stir continuously while cooking, cook until the sauce boils, and then turn off the heat.

Pour the sauce from the pot evenly over the tofu, and you're done. Enjoy!
