Ingredients

8 oz tofu
12 oz snow peas
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns
2 chili peppers
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: Press tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat and pan-fry tofu until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: Finely chop chili peppers and garlic. Heat remaining oil in the wok over high heat. Add chopped chili peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add minced garlic and Sichuan peppercorns, cooking for 30 seconds until the aroma intensifies without browning.
Step 4: Add snow peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Add soy sauce and rice wine, tossing to coat.
Step 5: Return tofu to the wok and toss gently for 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve immediately.
