Chili Tofu Rice: A Lunchtime Integration Initiative
Tofu rice! Douhuafan is practically a lifestyle in south Sichuan, but it's one of those things that's a bit hard to translate to a recipe, as usually it's prepared in restaurants.

(Bumping into the description box character limit, notes relating to product sourcing will be in the pinned comment below)
PREPARATION OF THE TOFU
* One block of soft - or medium - tofu (嫩豆腐), ~300g
* Salt, 1 tsp
* Hot, boiled water
* (Optional) bean sprouts
* Enough rice to fill you up
Option #1: Twenty minutes before lunch, dissolve the salt in with the hot boiled water and fill it up over your tofu. Let it soak for twenty minutes, then dip out the water, and refill with hot, boiled water (optionally placing the tofu on a bed of sprouts first).
Option #2: There's not much of an upper limit to the salt water soak. You could also do the salt water soak in the morning, and pack the tofu together with the brine. Dip out the water when you're ready to eat it, and refill with hot, boiled water (optionally placing the tofu on a bed of sprouts first).
DIP/VEGETABLE #1: TOASTED CHILI OIL (PLUS CELERY)
Dip:
* Toasted chili oil (see below) -or- Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp, 1 tbsp; Soy sauce (生抽), 1 tbsp; salt, 1/8 tsp; MSG (味精), 1/4 tsp; Sichuan Peppercorn Powder (花椒面), 1/4 tsp; toasted sesame seeds (熟芝麻), 1/4 tsp; chopped cilantro, ~1 tbsp
Mix together right before you're ready to eat.

To prep the celery, first peel the ribs. Slice the ribs in half, then chop into ~1.5 inch pieces. Blanch for ~30 seconds, then rinse under cool water to stop the cooking process.
Add all the seasoning to a mason jar and nestle ~200g worth of the celery in. Shake when you're ready to eat.

* Dried chilis, 50g (we used Sichuan erjingtiao, 二荆条)
* Oil, 150g (or 3/4 of a cup). We used Caiziyou (Chinese rapeseed oil), but you can also use Indian mustard seed oil or peanut oil
* Aromatics for the oil: Ginger, ~1 inch, smashed; Onion (洋葱), ~1/4 of an onion, sliced
* Spices for the oil (optional but recommended): Cinnamon (桂皮), ½ stick; Star Anise (八角), 1; Fennel Seed (小茴香), ¼ tsp

Peel the lotus root and slice into ~1cm sticks. Rinse thoroughly, and soak the lotus root in water until you're ready to blanch, much like you were prepping potato.
Blanch the lotus root until cooked, ~3 minutes. Strain, rinse. Add the seasoning to your mason jar, and nestle the lotus root on top.
Crispy Chili Bean Paste:
* Red oil Chili bean paste, 6 tbsp
* Oil, 150g (or 3/4 of a cup). We used Caiziyou (Chinese rapeseed oil), but you can also use Indian mustard seed oil or peanut oil
