The high heat gradually turned the tofu a golden yellow. Unlike deep-frying, pan-frying gave it a deeper color. Amidst the SIZZLE of hot oil, Jiang Qiuqiu used a pair of tongs to flip each piece of tofu over.
Once the stuffed tofu was golden-brown on all four sides, she grabbed another pot and poured in some water and seasonings. "We can add some sesame oil here. I made this oil myself, so it's not available on Taotao Fresh yet. You can skip this step if you're making it at home."
"Alternatively, you can just add a little peanut oil."
The moment she opened the lid of the sesame oil, a rich fragrance wafted out.
[I-Is this stuff edible?]
[How can something smell this amazing—]
