Peking-Style Fried Bean Curd image

From the book, Chinese Cuisine by Huang Su-Huei. I'll be posting more from this book. The pictures are amazing and make me crave Chinese so badly! This is really good! I tried it years ago before I was really used to tofu and I loved it.

This Peking-style fried bean curd was absolutely delicious! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was flavorful and savory. I will definitely be making this dish again soon.
