    General Tso’s Tofu

    Author: Laurel Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes
    Yield: 4 servings 1x Category: Entree Method: Stovetop Cuisine: Chinese Diet: Vegan

    Ingredients SCALE 1X 2X 3X
    For The Sauce:

    ¼ cup vegetable broth


    3 tablespoons tamari – or liquid aminos, or soy sauce if not gluten free
    2 tablespoons sugar – or coconut sugar
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    2 teaspoons corn starch
    2 teaspoons tomato paste
    1 teaspoon Sambal Olek – or this chili garlic sauce (same thing, different brands)
    2 cloves garlic, minced

    For The Stir Fry:

    2 tablespoons avocado oil


    1 block extra firm tofu
    1 ½ tablespoons tamari
    4 tablespoons corn starch
    2 scallions, cut into 1 inch lengths
    5–10 Dried red Chinese chilis

    Instructions

    1 Stir together all the sauce ingredients. If serving with rice, start cooking it now.
    2 Pat the tofu dry and slice it into 1-inch cubes.
    3 Toss the tofu with the tamari. Transfer to a zip-top bag, leaving all excess tamari behind. Add in the corn starch and shake
    until coated.
    4 Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the tofu, and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 10
    minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
    5 Add in the scallions and chilis. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the tofu back to the skillet along with the sauce.
    Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu. Serve over rice. Enjoy!

    Notes
    i As is, the dish is quite mild – between a 1 and 2 star. To make the dish less spicy, omit the dried chilis and reduce or omit
    the sambal olek. To make it more spicy, add more of both!
