Prepare the Aromatics: Begin by finely chopping or blending the garlic, shallots, and chili peppers according to your preference—this can be a rough chop or a smooth paste.
-
Fry the Tofu and Sausage: Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Lightly fry the tofu and optional sausages until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same hot oil, add the prepared garlic, shallots, and chili mixture. Sauté until fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Add the Mustard Greens: Toss in the mustard greens and add enough water to create a little steam. Cover and cook for a couple of minutes until the greens start to wilt.
-
Combine Ingredients: Introduce the fried tofu and sausages back into the pan, followed by the black pepper sauce. Stir everything together to ensure even distribution.
-
Season to Taste: Season the dish with sugar, salt, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Taste and adjust until it meets your flavor preference.
-
Thicken the Sauce: Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this to the pan, stirring continuously until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
-
Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy this delightful fusion of flavors!
