Stir Fried Sweet Chili Tofu
This stir-fried sweet chili tofu is among my favourite tofu recipes and I love using with rice. I typically cook a batch then package it in separate containers afterward have it 3 or so foods. Really ideal for whenever you have busy times.
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 2 blocks extra firm tofu, sliced into cubes (around 240 g each)
- ½ cup bell-pepper, sliced into squares
- 1 heaping tbsp corn-starch
- onion-leeks, chopped
- 2 tbsp sesame-oil, for frying
- ½ tsp salt
For the Sweet Chili Sauce
- 2 tsp chili-sauce (I used sriracha)
- ½ tbsp corn-starch
- 2 tbsp soy-sauce
- 2 tbsp coconut-sugar or other sugar
- 1½ tbsp maple-syrup or other liquid-sweetener
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp sesame-oil
Instructions
- Dry the tofu & cut into cubes. I wrap the tofu in towels & put a plate on top of it till excess-liquid is absorbed by the towels.
- Sprinkle salt on the tofu-cubes. Add the cornstarch then coat the tofu well. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients to the sauce.
- In a pan, heat round 1 ½ tablespoon of sesame-oil then fry the tofu cubes till golden and crisp. You might have to turn round the tofu-cubes.
- Take out the tofu & sautee the onion-leeks and bell-peppers in a little sesame-oil.
- Add from the tofu, sauce, then blend well. The sauce will thicken in the corn-starch. Serve with a bowl of rice and also enjoy while hot!
