  • egg substitute
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch

  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • red pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Steamed broccoli or rice or both!

Directions
  1. Drain, dry and cut tofu into 1 inch chunks.
  2. You can freeze tofu the night before to get a more chicken-like consistency, but it is not a must.
  3. Mix the egg replacer(or real egg if not vegan) as the box says and then add 3 extra tablespoons of water.
  4. dip tofu in egg/water mixture completely to coat.
  5. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cornstarch over tofu and coat completely. Make sure the cornstarch doesn't clump at the bottom of the bowl.
  6. Heat oil in a pan and fry tofu pieces until golden. Drain oil.
  7. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in pan on medium heat.
  8. Add green onions, ginger and garlic, cook for about 2 minutes Be careful not to burn garlic
