Tofu Batons with Hot Sesame...

  1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a medium pot.
  2. Add the tofu sticks, breaking them if necessary to make them fit, and use a wooden spoon to push them under the surface of the water.
  3. Turn off the heat.
  4. Weight down the sticks with a plate that fits inside the pot to keep them submerged.
  5. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the plate and drain the tofu well.
  7. Cut the sticks into 2-inch lengths, trimming off and discarding any tough bits.
  8. Cut the sticks lengthwise in half or into quarters, to make narrow batons.
  9. Set aside.
  10. Heat a wok or wide heavy pot over medium-high heat.
  11. Add the peanut oil and sesame oil.
  12. When the oil is hot, add the chile flakes and tofu batons and stir-fry for 2 minutes, stirring and pressing on the batons to expose them to the hot surface of the pan.
  13. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar and whisk well, then pour over the tofu batons.
  14. Stir-fry briefly to distribute the flavors, then bring the liquid to a boil.
  15. Immediately lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  16. Turn out into a wide shallow bowl.
  17. Taste and add a little more soy or vinegar if you wish.
  18. Sprinkle on the coriander leaves, and serve warm or at room temperature.
