Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound silken tofu, very chilled – if you prefer a firmer texture that is a lot easier to eat with chopsticks, freeze it for 2 hours first, then defrost in the fridge
- 2 ounces Sichuan preserved vegetable, chopped
- 2 ounces Sichuan preserved ya cai
- 2 ounces pickled peppadew peppers, chopped (TFD alteration for color and flavor, you can omit and just use more Sichuan preserved vegetable or ya cai if you so prefer)
- 1–2 century duck eggs, to your preference (I like 2)
