Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add mushrooms and cook until golden and moisture releases, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add tofu cubes, chili crisp, soy sauce, and Sichuan pepper; stir gently until coated.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer for 3 minutes, letting flavors meld; the sauce should look glossy and cling to tofu.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter scallions on top and serve immediately over rice.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch skillet
