Bring to a boil, then add half-cut fish head. If you like a richer broth, cook over high heat for 10 minutes; for a clearer broth, simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.Then add tofu (choose Northern brine tofu for its good texture and strong bean flavor. Cut into 1.5 cm cubes or oblique slices). Cook for more than 5 minutes to fully infuse the tofu with flavor.Serve in a soup bowl, then pour hot oil over it which has been heated with Szechuan pepper and dried chili.
(If you don't like oily food, skip this step.) Add some pepper powder, and that's it.

Cut the mung bean curd into 1.5 cm cubes or oblique knife flat rhombus pieces, and simmer for more than 5 minutes.) Drain and serve in a soup bowl.
