yum, one of my favorite dishes too! i started with the recipe from serious eats, but didn't think it had enough sauce. tweaked it to roughly triple the sauce to look like about what you have there.

Do you have a recipe? Is that chilli at the bottom a placed topping there or is it mixed through the dish?

Mixed in. I'd put in more.

This is the recipe I used.

Keep in mind I don’t generally follow recipes to a tee, I will gather the same ingredients and kinda find what makes logical sense when making the food.

The “chilis” are Szechuan peppercorns. They have a numbing effect on your tongue that I didn’t particularly like, so I added less.

I love that channel! I learned so much about how to make things I grew up eating, I appreciate that they don't assume you know any knowledge and explain why things are done, makes it easy for a noob like me to generalize the techniques to match what's in my fridge.

I need to try this, been really craving tofu lately. Thanks for the idea!

This looks incredibly delicious. I should have breakfast.

What happened to the color? It’s supposed to be orangey brown from the oils and spices.

Sometimes everything doesn’t come out exactly as it looks on a recipe site (:
