SICHUAN CELERY AND TOFU SALAD



Sichuan Celery and Tofu Salad image

This otherwise simple salad, adapted from a dish at Szechuan Gourmet in Manhattan, may require a trip to a Chinese market for Szechuan peppercorns and pressed tofu. And you'll need to make your own chili oil! But here's the thing. The effort, which really isn't much more than difficult shopping, produces an elegant dish that is worth whatever shoe leather or mileage you'll expend getting the ingredients together. It is astonishingly good. And we'll even allow one substitution. You can use regular celery instead of the Chinese version!

1 cup peanut oil
1 piece ginger, 2 inches long, cut into 3 or 4 slices
1 piece cinnamon, 3 inches long
3 cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
1/4 cup red chile flakes, or more to taste
Salt
1 bunch Chinese celery, or regular celery, thinly sliced
4 to 6 ounces pressed tofu, thinly sliced or julienned

  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; when it simmers, add ginger, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns and chili flakes.

CHINESE TOFU SALAD



Chinese Tofu Salad image

This is one of my favorites for lunch. It's packed with protein and tastes light and fresh. Any extra soy ginger dressing can be used as a marinade or sauce for just about anything. Chicken can also be substituted for the tofu for a more traditional Chinese Chicken Salad. Yum!
