Ingredients

  • 200 g Baiye tofu sheets (pressed tofu skins)
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro (leaves and stems)
  • 1 small bunch enoki mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 tbsp Chinese BBQ seasoning (it's a mix of powders: cumin, chili, sesame seeds, onion, ginger, anise, bay leaves)
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil (for sauce + extra for frying)
  • 1 tsp Black sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Cut the tofu sheets into medium rectangles or squares (about 10×15 cm).
  • Bring water to a boil and briefly simmer the tofu sheets for 1–2 minutes to soften them. Drain and pat dry.
  • Thinly slice the onion into strips.
  • Rinse and trim the enoki mushrooms (if you use them). Trim cilantro.
  • Place a bit of onion, mushrooms, and cilantro in the center of each tofu rectangle. Roll them up tightly like spring rolls. You can secure the rolls with a toothpick or leave them as is.
  • Place the rolls on a hot pan or grill, and cook until golden and slightly crispy —about 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Prepare BBQ-Oil: Mix vegetable oil, Chinese BBQ seasoning, and oyster sauce.
  • Sprinkle generously with BBQ-oil mix and black sesame seeds. Serve hot.
