| 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. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
