In a pan, heat up ~1 tsp of olive oil on medium heat.
When oil is hot, add Sichuan peppercorns and fry until fragrant.
Add soybean paste and briefly fry.
Add ground meat and stir.
When meat is 50% cooked, add in 1 cup of water, ensuring that the soybean paste dissolves.
Using your hands, break up the tofu into bite sized chunks. Add tofu and chili flakes to the pan.
Add dark soy sauce and gently stir together.
When all of the tofu has been coated in the sauce, add in sesame oil and sprinkle scallions on top.
