General Taos Tofu Recipe

General Taos Tofu

From cmon68 16 years ago

Heres a great one for all you vegans out there! I love this. Even meat and potato hubby said he "tolerated it(LOL) :)) .

Drain, dry and cut tofu into 1 inch chunks.
You can freeze tofu the night before to get a more chicken-like consistency, but it is not a must.
Mix the egg replacer(or real egg if not vegan) as the box says and then add 3 extra tablespoons of water.
dip tofu in egg/water mixture completely to coat.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup cornstarch over tofu and coat completely. Make sure the cornstarch doesn't clump at the bottom of the bowl.
Heat oil in a pan and fry tofu pieces until golden. Drain oil.
Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in pan on medium heat.
Add green onions, ginger and garlic, cook for about 2 minutes Be careful not to burn garlic
Add vegetable stock, soy sauce, sugar, red pepper and vinegar.
Mix 2 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (this is called a slurry.)
Add this to mixture and stir well.
Add fried tofu and coat evenly.
Serve with steamed brocolli and rice,
