    Default General Tao's Tofu

    This is a recipe taken from vegweb, and it's very very good...and quite quick

    I don't use egg replacer so I made a 'slick' of cornflour and water instead and it worked well.

    General Tao's Tofu

    1 box of firm tofu
    egg substitute for 1 egg
    3/4 cup cornstarch
    vegetable oil for frying
    3 chopped green onions
    1 Tablespoon minced ginger
    1 Tablespoon minced garlic
    2/3 cup vegetable stock
    2 Tablespoons soy sauce
    4 Tablespoons sugar
    red pepper to taste
    1 Tablespoon sherry (optional)
    1 Tablespoon white vinegar
    steamed broccoli

    Directions:

    Drain, dry and cut tofu into 1 inch chunks. You can freeze tofu the night before to get a more chicken-like consistency, but it isn't necessary. Mix the egg replacer as specified on the box and add an additional 3 tablespoons water. Dip tofu in egg replacer/water mixture and coat completely. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cornstarch over tofu and coat completely. Watch out that the cornstarch doesn't clump up at the bottom of the bowl.

    Heat oil in pan and fry tofu pieces until golden. Drain oil.

    Heat 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil in pan on medium heat. Add green onions, ginger and garlic, cook for about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn garlic. Add vegetable stock, soy sauce, sugar, red pepper and vinegar. Mix 2 Tablespoons water with 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and pour into mixture stirring well. Add fried tofu and coat evenly.

    Serve immediately with steamed broccoli over your choice of rice.

    Baldrick: Yes, it's like goldy and bronzy only it's made out of iron.
