I couldn't find black peppercorns at my local grocery store, so I used pre-ground black pepper instead. The tofu still turned out crispy and delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will try making it again with less black pepper.

The tofu was a bit too soft for my liking, but the black pepper sauce was delicious. I will try making it again with a firmer tofu.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the tofu itself was delicious. I will try making it again with a milder sauce.
