Directions
Chinese Bourbon Tofu, Derived from LinMarie’s “Bourbon Chicken” recipe, this tofu, fried, cooked in sauce and served over rice, won’t disappoint; at the moment its my favorite tofu recipe., This has become one of my favorite recipes! Ive tried it a couple different ways. I have marinated this for 30 minutes as well as overnight. I liked the shorter time of marinated tofu better because Im not a big fan of tofu texture and it seemed less spongey that way. The second time I made this I also didnt have apple juice or apples so I substituted it with white wine and it worked out well! Tasted the same. I also didnt have red pepper flakes so I just used cayenne pepper., Love it!! I doubled the sauce because we like a lot of sauce. Added chopped broccoli and carrots. I actually marinated mine for a couple of days, just because I wasn’t able to make it the actual day I had planned and it marinated for 3 days. But it was great and had alot of flavor.
