Sweet And Spicy Tofu W Veggies Recipes

Steps:

• Put cornstarch in pie pan.
• Add tofu and coat on all sides.
• Heat 2 TB oil in pan over medium-high heat.
• Add tofu and cook until brown (be careful it turns very easily).
• Remove and transfer to bowl.
• Add remaining 2 TB oil to pan.
• Saute vegetables (green onions- pepper) over medium heat until cooked through (10 minutes).
• Add shrimp (if using) and continue cooking 5 minutes or until shrimp is pink.
• Mix vinegar, sweet n' sour sauce and hot sauce in measuring cup.
• Add sauce mixture and tofu to pan and cook 5 minutes longer.

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.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu in a colander, or dry on paper-towel lined plate while you prep the remaining ingredients, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil for the soba noodles.
• Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. When the oil shimmers, add the tofu in a single layer, in batches if needed and cook until golden on all sides, turning as needed when the tofu releases easily from the pan, about 8 to 10 minutes total. Lift the tofu out of the pan with a spatula and transfer to a new paper-towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, cook the soba in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes (or according to package directions), until just al dente, stirring frequently. Drain and rinse in cold water until the noodles no longer feel sticky.
• Add garlic, ginger and whites of the onions to the skillet, along with the remaining tablespoon sesame oil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the oil is fragrant, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
• Add cooked and drained soba noodles to the pan, along with soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, red pepper and reserved green onions; toss together until the noodles are coated. Gently toss in the tofu until all the pieces are covered in the sauce.
• Remove from the heat, and sprinkle cucumber, radish and cilantro on top. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lime.

Steps:

• Prepare tofu - drain all water out and cut into 1" cubes.
• Make sauce with water, soy sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar and peanut butter. Stir well and set aside.
• Heat a skillet on medium/medium high and add vegetable oil and sesame oil.
• Toss in chopped onions and saute until almost golden brown. Add other veggies if you wanted to have other veggies in your recipe.
• Add tofu and stir occasionally until brown on some sides.
• Add sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve with rice, noodles or eat by itself. Enjoy!
