GENERAL TSO'S TOFU STIR-FRY
General Tso refers to the sauce rather than the dish itself - this sweet sticky sauce, usually served with chicken, is a staple of North American Chinese restaurants.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu into 2-centimetre (3/4-inch) cubes and dry well on paper towels. Put half the cornstarch into a food bag, add the tofu cubes and toss to coat, then add the remaining cornstarch and toss again. Set aside for 5 minutes to become slightly tacky.
- Mix the rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or frying pan over a high heat and cook the tofu for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain on paper towels. Drain any excess oil from the wok.
- Allow the wok to cool a little, then add the sesame oil, ginger, garlic and chile and gently fry for about 1 minute before adding the blended sauce ingredients with 150 milliliters (2/3 cup) water. Bubble until you have a thick, glossy sauce.
- Return the tofu to the pan and toss to coat all over. Serve with steamed basmati or brown rice and broccoli.
GENERAL TSO'S TOFU
Crispy tofu coated in a spicy, sweet, and salty sauce. I'm not a vegetarian but this is the best General Tso's dish I've had. I like to serve it over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Steps:
- Place tofu onto a plate lined with several paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and another plate. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top and press tofu for 30 minutes. Drain and discard any accumulated liquid.
- Place tofu cubes in a shallow bowl. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and sesame oil. Gently stir to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes or until tofu has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking soy sauce, maple syrup, sambal oelek, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, cornstarch, and green onions together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Drain any remaining liquid from the tofu. Place cornstarch in a gallon-sized plastic resealable bag. Drop tofu cubes in the bag, seal, and gently shake until coated with cornstarch.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu for 4 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes more. Transfer tofu to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
- Pour sauce into the skillet and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Return tofu to the skillet and toss to combine.

Steps:
- Whisk broth, soy sauce, hoisin, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar, white pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Set sauce aside.
- Place remaining cornstarch in a resealable, zip-top plastic bag. Tear off bite-sized chunks of tofu and drop them into the bag. Shake until each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle on cornstarch by hand, if needed, to coat each piece well.
- Heat oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add tofu pieces one by one and cook until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to move and turn the pieces until browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Pour out any remaining oil. Add the white parts of the green onions and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the sauce. Allow to heat and thicken, about 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss to coat. Discard ginger. Garnish with green onion tops, peanuts, and sesame seeds.
