Categories     30 Minute Meals

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (12-14 ounce) block extra firm tofu
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch (or rice flour)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons oil, divided
optional: 1/8 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne + Tofu press
2 large shallots or 4 small, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 red fresno chilis, sliced
1 tablespoon ginger paste (I buy it Gourmet Garden from the refrigerated section)
2 tablespoons EACH: light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce AND oyster sauce
1 tablespoons pepper medley, coarsely ground (see notes)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup water + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
6 scallions, cut into 1 inch strips

Steps:

  • TOFU: Press excess moisture out of the tofu using either the tea towels and heavy weights of the tofu press.This will take 15-20 minutes. Cut the tofu into bite sized pieces. In a zip top bag, combine the cornstarch, salt, and chili powder if desired. Zip and give the bag a shake. Add the tofu to the bag, zip, and continue to shake until the tofu is evenly coated with the cornstarch mixture.
  • SAUCE: While the tofu is drying, prepare the sauce. Combine the light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, coarse ground pepper, brown sugar, vinegar, water, and cornstarch in a mason jar. Give the jar a shake until combined.
  • STIR FRY: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and let fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping the tofu as needed to ensure even browning on all sides. Remove the tofu to a plate, set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, Add the sliced shallots and sauté until the onions cook down, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic along with the chilis and sauté for another 3-4 minutes or until the onions and garlic are fragrant and soften. Add the ginger paste and continue to cook for 1 minutes before adding the tofu back to the pan. Drizzle with the prepared black pepper sauce and stir to combine. When the sauce thickens, remove from heat. Sprinkle the scallions on top and serve warm with white/brown rice, quinoa, over zoodles/swoodles, or on it's own!

  • In a small saucepan, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and allow to cook at a low simmer for about 20 minutes until reduced by about half, stirring occasionally.
  • While the sauce simmers, place the cornstarch into a medium bowl. Very generously coat the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet with oil and place it over medium heat. Dredge the tofu pieces in cornstarch, and when the oil is hot, transfer them to the skillet in an even layer. Cook about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice, until browned and crispy on multiple sides. Transfer the tofu to a paper-towel lined plate.
  • If the skillet it dry, add a dash more of oil. Add the chile peppers and white parts of scallions, and cook until the peppers begin to darken, about 1 minute. Raise heat to high and add the broccolini to the skillet. Stir-fry until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Flip a few times to coat the tofu and broccolini in the sauce. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green parts of scallions.
