Quick and easy recipe to make this Asian delight on your own!
Preparation and Assembly Time: 12 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
½ cup flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
20 oz. extra firm tofu, cut to ½ - ¾ inch cubes (we prefer Wildwood® SprouTofu® Extra Firm)
2 carrots, sliced diagonally
2 cups broccoli, chopped
½ sweet onion, chopped
2 cups cooked brown rice (optional)
Oil for frying
SAUCE
Make it yourself (below) your use your favorite teriyaki sauce instead
¾ cup sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons black bean garlic paste (Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce recommended)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
DIRECTIONS
1. Mix flour and cornstarch together in a small bowl and set aside. Put the cubed tofu on a paper towel to drain excess water. Place cubes into the flour cornstarch mix to coat the tofu.
2. In a skillet, heat oil until hot (add a drop of water to the oil - it will splatter when ready). Fry the coated tofu for 2 – 3 minutes until light brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.
3. SAUCE: Mix together sweet chili sauce, black bean garlic sauce and soy sauce. Set aside.
4. Lightly sauté the carrots, onion and broccoli in a little bit of oil and cover for about 4 – 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but not soft. Turn off the heat and add the tofu.
5. Stir in sauce. Serve over brown rice.
