Инструкции
- Cut each cake of bean curd in 4 to 6 slices. Meanwhile bring water to a boil.
- Carefully place bean curd slices, a few at a time, in a sieve. Plunge into boiling water for 30 seconds; then drain. Arrange on a serving platter and let cold.
- Mix soy sauce and peanut oil and pour over bean curd. Serve, sprinkled with pepper.
- NOTE: Bean curd is already cooked and can be eaten as is. The blanching improves its flavor and texture.
- VARIATIONS: For the soy sauce, substitute oyster sauce.
- For the peanut oil, substitute 1/2 tsp. sesame oil. After step 2, top bean curd with 1/4 c. dry shrimp (soaked) or possibly 2 Tbsp. cooked shrimp, minced coarsely; and 2 Tbsp. scallion, chopped. Season as in step 3, but omit pepper. Then chill, covered, only to chill (about 20 min).
- In step 3, use mix as a dip instead of pouring it directly over bean curd.
- In step 3, sprinkle the bean curd with the soy sauce and pepper. Garnish with 1/2 c. Chinese parsley, minced, and 2 scallion stalks, shredded.
- Then heat the oil till smoking and pour over.
