Tofu, the old-time Chinese favourite! The tofu is first steamed, cooled and topped with preserved, pickled Szechuan vegetables and pork. Szechuan vegetables are preserved with salt, hot pepper powder and some spices. The Szechuan vegetable that I used for this dish is sold in packets and it can be eaten as it is, usually as an accompaniment in porridge. I like to stir-fry this preserved vegetable with shredded pork. This is a really simple and tasty dish that goes well with steamed white rice or plain white porridge.
