Comment préparer 5 Spice Tofu
- Cut the block of tofu horizontally into two equal cakes, then cut each cake in half horizontally again, creating four thinner cakes.
- In a large skillet or pan, combine 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Carefully add the tofu cakes to the simmering sauce, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Leave the tofu in the sauce, cover, and let it marinate for at least 3 hours (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
- Before serving, drain any excess sauce from the tofu. The tofu can be stored, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
