[ 𝐓𝐨𝐟𝐮 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐮 叉烧酱豆腐 ] It just happened on a quiet afternoon when I had a block of tofu in the fridge and a jar of leftover Char Siu sauce I’d made earlier in the week. I thought... why not try something a little different? What came out of that experiment was Tofu Char Siu, a meatless version of the classic Chinese barbecue dish. No oven, no grill, just some simple pan-frying and a sauce that clings beautifully to the tofu. It’s incredibly easy to make, and what surprised me most was how tasty it turned out—sweet, savory, sticky, tastes like real Char Siu but with a different texture. It’s one of those unexpected recipes that feels both familiar and new at the same time. If you’re curious to try, I’ve shared the full recipe here: 👉 https://tasteasianfood.com/tofu-char-siu/ .
