According to online introduction, Gongbao tofu is one of the traditional famous dishes in Sichuan Province. It is made with ingredients such as old tofu, dried chili and peanuts. This dish evolved from Kung Pao Chicken. The cooking methods of the two are basically the same, except that the chicken is replaced by old tofu. I have made this dish before, but this time I added a spoonful of Mao De Gong chili sauce at the end to make it taste even better. This spicy sauce is only slightly spicy and can play a role in enhancing the fragrance. The finished dish is ruddy in color. The tofu is wrapped in a thick soup and is crispy with peanuts. It is a delicious and classic meal... ..."

Tips:
1. It is best to let tofu stand for 20 minutes, there will be a lot of water seeping out. Dry the surface water to reduce oil splashing when frying in the pan.
2. Cut the tofu into small cubes of about 1cm, and deep-fry the tofu over medium heat until the surface is golden brown. The frying time should not be too long or the tofu will become hard.
3. Different ingredients can be added to the prepared Ciju juice according to personal taste. The amount of soy sauce only needs a few drops. If there are too many, the color of the finished product is too dark and unsightly
4. After the ci juice is boiled in the pan, simmer it on a low heat to allow the tofu to fully absorb the flavor of the soup, and finally turn off the heat and then add peanuts and stir fry.
