Spicy tofu

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

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 

1/3 cup hot water 

3 tablespoons white vinegar 

3 tablespoons soy sauce 

1 tablespoon brown sugar 

1 teaspoon cornstarch 

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 

 

 

DIRECTIONS

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.
