For a spicier kick, substitute the black pepper with 1-2 teaspoons of red chile garlic paste. Ensure the watercress is thoroughly dried to prevent a watery sauce. Firm tofu works best in this recipe, but extra-firm can also be used. Avoid silken tofu as it will fall apart during cooking. Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
