HOT AND SPICY TOFU



Hot and Spicy Tofu image

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.

Time 22m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
⅓ cup hot water
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.

SPICY BAKED TOFU



Spicy Baked Tofu image

This healthy, protein-packed tofu dish is filled with flavor. This is a spicy dish. I don't find it overly spicy but I like heat in my faux-meat! I served this with wilted garlic spinach and a fresh salad on the side. Remember that tofu is a concentrated protein, so you don't need as much tofu as you would meat. This dish is great reheated! If you want to be really creative, try grilling your tofu for an even more delicious result!

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 serving cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package tofu
2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • Lay the tofu on a plate lined with a couple sheets of paper towel. Layer more paper towel atop tofu and place another plate atop the stack to press water from the tofu. Let sit at least 5 minutes.
  • Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips and put into a large, sealable plastic bag; add soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Squeeze bag to remove excess air and seal. Marinate tofu in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Remove tofu from the marinade, shake to remove excess moisture, and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until firm, 15 to 20 minutes more.

SPICY TOFU STIR FRY



Spicy Tofu Stir Fry image

The title says it all, I think. I like the peppery-ness of the napa cabbage with the sweet peppers. Feel free to add the veggies you like (sometimes I use eggplant). Just make sure you don't cook the veggies until they're mushy. You want them to still be firm, but not raw.

Categories     Chinese

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (8 ounce) package firm tofu (or extra firm)
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce (more or less according to taste)
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup mushroom, sliced in half
1 large red pepper (orange or yellow are good, too(just chop it into roughly 1 by 2 inch pieces)
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 cups shredded napa cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed in 2 T cold water, cornstarch slurry)

Steps:

  • Cube tofu into approximately 1 by 2 inch pieces.
  • Set on top of paper towels and press (not too hard, you don't want to mash the tofu) on the top with more paper towels to rid the tofu of excess moisture.
  • Mix: chili garlic sauce, minced garlic, 1 T sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, ginger, and chicken/veg stock.
  • Add tofu into chili sauce mixture. Make sure all pieces are in contact with the liquid. Let soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Put frying pan over med-high heat. Once pan has heated, add 1 T sesame oil.
  • Put marinated tofu in pan, brown all sides.
  • Remove tofu and set aside.
  • Add cornstarch slurry to remaining marinade, mix. (Add a few more tablespoons of soy sauce or rice wine or vinegar if necessary--you want this to be enough to eventually coat the vegetables as a light sauce).
  • Put mushrooms and peppers into frying pan. Stir constantly over high heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add green onion and napa cabbage. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour leftover marinade over vegetables, stir. Add browned tofu and chopped cilantro. When heated through, remove from heat.
  • Serve with rice.
