Adapted from a General Tso's Chicken recipe in Men's Health Magazine and posted on the Vegan Kitchen. The baked tofu is a great vehicle for the spicy-sweet sauce. Serve it over brown rice and tons of bright green steamed broccoli. Enjoy!

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The tofu was mushy and the sauce was too sweet. I think I'll stick to my old General Tso's chicken recipe.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but other than that it was really good. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out amazing. The tofu is always crispy and the sauce is always delicious. I love how easy it is to make, too. It's a great weeknight meal.

Wow! Just wow! This is the best tofu dish I've ever had. The sauce is so flavorful and addictive, and the tofu is cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This General Tso's Tofu recipe is a total game-changer! The tofu is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. I served it over rice with a side of steamed broccoli, and it was an absolute hit with my family
