    The spiciness in this recipe is a bit too high for me but I'm looking forward to giving this a try soon with less peppers.

    What a wonderful recipe. I am gonna make it right tomorrow for my lunch. Thanks for posting this easy and delicious recipe.

    We made this tonight for dinner. Oh man don’t make this if you can’t handle the heat 🥵 it was so good. Love how the Sichuan pepper makes your mouth numb and tingly. Served it with your teriyaki eggplant, broccoli and rice. They were perfect to cool off our mouth between bites of tofu.

    This looks amazing. Can't wait to try it. Regarding the dried chili pepper, is there a specific pepper to use?

    I made this for dinner today and it turned out delicious! Loved how crispy the tofu was without frying it in oil!

    I just found your channel … thank you for posting. My grandmother was a true vegetarian and I remembered her cooking some of these dishes. I want to honor her by doing this … Could you please let me know once I make this recipe, am I able to reheat as I like to bring it to work with me as a lunch dish, thank you.
