preparation
1. Slice the tofu crosswise into 6 pieces and blot it with paper towels.
2. Heat the oil in a cast-iron or nonstick skillet. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt, and cook over medium-high heat until golden. At first it will twitch around as the water in the tofu turns to steam, but then it will settle down. Once the first side is browned, turn and cook the second side, about 10 minutes in all. Shake on a tablespoon or two of the sauce and continue cooking until it evaporates, leaving the tofu seasoned and glazed. Season with pepper, scatter the scallions and peppers over all, and serve.
