Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup chicken broth or 1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
454 g firm tofu, cubed and blotted dry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup canola oil (I used only 1/8 cup of oil and cooked the tofu in one batch)
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt and pepper
1 broccoli, cut into florets steamed
steamed rice

Steps:

  • Sauce: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Set aside.
  • Stir-Fry: In a large bowl, dust the tofu with the cornstarch. Shake to remove any excess. Set aside on a plate.
  • In a wok, heat the oil. Fry the tofu, half at a time, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the tofu from the wok with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • In the wok, fry the onions, ginger, and garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add oil, if needed. Add the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the tofu and cook, stirring to warm through, and coat thoroughly with the sauce. Serve immediately over rice. Serve with broccoli.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try it again with less oil.

This General Tao Tofu was a hit! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. I served it with rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
