The Tongue-Numbing "Flower Pepper" of Sichuan Province

by Kimberly Dukes



Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon flour or cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt to taste
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn


Instructions


In a wok, heat the oil until very hot. Fry the tofu slices until they begin to look brown and toasty. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tofu to a plate to drain. Remove the oil and wipe the wok.
