2. Make the sauce: mix 1.5 tbsp light soy sauce, 0.5 tbsp oyster sauce, 0.5 tbsp aged vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 4g sugar, 2g matsutake powder, 3g salt, and minced garlic. Stir well and pour over the tofu and century eggs. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan, sauté the chopped scallions and Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant. Remove the peppercorns, then pour the scallions (and a drizzle of the hot oil) over the dish and gently toss.
3. That's it—delicious century egg with silken tofu, done! You can also add crushed peanuts and cilantro to taste.
