Dissolve 1 cup sugar in 1/4 cup water and heat on medium for about half an hour, until the liquid looks like maple syrup. Throw in 1/2 cup water, which will sizzle and might crystallize the sugar. If it does, stir with a spoon to try to re-dissolve.
Pour this caramel sauce on a skillet (medium-high heat) with 5 diced shallots (cook for a few minutes), add 4 minced cloves of garlic and some minced fresh ginger (cook for a few minutes), and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce (cook for a few minutes).
Cut a block of tufu into 8 thin slabs and lay them in the sauce for 10 minutes, flipping midway through. Serve with chopped green onions and ground black pepper, over rice.
This dish is really delicious if you're in a sweet/salty/spicy kind of mood. From the Times.
