12 ounces soft tofu (1 carton) or 12 ounces firm tofu (1 carton)
2 teaspoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon thin soy sauce or 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon sherry wine
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon peanut oil

1
If using soft tofu, it is easier to crumble it and heat it up as part of the sauce in step 5.
2
If using hard tofu, drain it, wrap it in a towel and press while assembling the ingredients for the sauce. Slice it crosswise to a scant 1/2 inch thick, then into triangles. Blot with paper toweling.
3
Heat a nonstick skillet, brush with 2 teaspoons of peanut oil, then add the cut up hard tofu. Fry over medium-high heat until golden, then turn, adding another 2 teaspoons of peanut oil, and browning the other side.
4
Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine (or sherry), garlic, pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon of peanut oil.
5
Stir in the water or stock, then pour the mixture over the tofu and shuffle the pan back and forth to distribute it evenly.
6
Cook over medium heat until bubbling and slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
7
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
