Tofu Buns

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut it into thick slices.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a bowl, mix red sugar, salt, and a little oil. Coat the tofu slices in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tofu

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the marinated tofu slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Finely chop the Fresno chilies, ginger, and scallions. Mix them together in a bowl with chopped peanuts.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Buns

    Spread lemon-garlic aioli on the inside of the buns. Place the fried tofu slices inside, and top with the peanut-ginger-scallion mixture.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tofu buns warm, garnished with additional scallions and Fresno chilies if desired.
