Firm tofu, bell pepper, and red onion, all quickly stir fried in a sweet and sour sauce. A word of caution - this is VERY spicy! If you like milder dishes, decrease the amount of pepper flakes or omit them altogether. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons peanut oil |
1 pound firm tofu, cubed |
1 red onion, sliced |
1 red bell pepper, sliced |
1 green chile pepper, chopped |
3 cloves garlic, crushed |
1/3 cup hot water |
3 tablespoons white vinegar |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss the tofu into the oil, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, toss in onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, and garlic; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Pour over tofu and vegetables, toss to coat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly.
