Kung "POW" Tofu

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 package of firm tofu
    1/2 cup of water(approx)
    1/3 cup of tamari or soy sauce
    2 tablespoons of oil (i used vegetable oil)
    2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
    1 tablespoon of sugar (I used molasses)
    1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or more to taste
    2 cloves of garlic or more to taste
    1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water
    1/2 cup of onions (chopped)
    2 teaspoons of toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

Freeze tofu overnight for a more.. dare I say "meaty" texture. Drain all excess water before you begin cooking.

Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add the tofu. Fry the tofu, turning every couple of minutes, until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar,  oil, sugar(again I opted to use molasses), crushed red pepper and cornstarch.

Add to your already medium heat skillet your onion and any other veggies you want if any, (chestnuts, snow peas, or scallions would be so yummy in this) for about 3-4 minutes.

Add your fried tofu and sauce from your small bowl to the skillet and cook for another few moments until your sauce has thickened up.

Serve over steamed rice, (brown or white are BOTH yummy). And sprinkle your toasted sesame seeds over the top.

YUMMY

Let me know what you think and be gentle I bruise easy!!

Erin~

Serves: 4-6

Yay! I am in a bit of a hurry (but very hungry), so I just made this in about 10-15 mins. I threw the sauce together (used about 1/4 block tofu), so it came out a bit salty..but that was just my fault. I used sesame oil, and just a sprinkling of sugar. I added red bell pepper and green onion. It's very good!  Thumbs Up

Yes, yes..I already made it again! My husband came home from work, and I knew this was quick, easy, and we had the ingredients (it's the end of the week..). So, this time I sauteed a zucchini and some white mushrooms, and added that with the fried tofu to the sauce. I was careful of my salt content this time..and it was about perfect!  Grin I highly recommend using sesame oil!

I made this last night.  I added broccoli and mushrooms.  I had to double the sauce because the first batch just soaked right in and there wasnt' enough for the rice.  Next time I might reduce the amount of vinegar just a tad, but that's just my preference.  All in all I loved it and even my picky boyfriend went back for seconds Smiley

Hey Erin- I had a quesiton before I make this... You say to heat the 2 TBSPs of veggie oil in a pan and fry the tofu. But then, you say to add oil into the sauce. There are only 2 TBSP veggie oil listed... so is there additional oil for the tofu and oil in the sauce or is that a typo? Thanks! Can't wait to make it Smiley

This recipe is really, really good. It has tons of flavour and is perfect for those just learning how to make tofu.

I made this recipe three times, once just for dinner, a second time for a vegan potluck I went to (and it had rave reviews) and a third time for a few friends who came over for dinner. They really loved it.

PS- Erin I think that where it says to add the oil into the sauce, you may have meant to add the 1/2 cup of water? Anyway that's what I did, in order to make it saucy. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens, or you can add a bit of cornstarch.

Great recipe! Will definitely make again another time!

This was quick, easy and tasty.  I used baby bellas, cauliflower, red pepper and edamame.  I served it over udon noodles and it was the bomb!
