Directions
Spicy Tofu Stir Fry, 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 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., Like a bit more bite, did not use mushroom, added 1/4 cup thinly julienned carrot, used vegetable stock making it vegetarian. Used chili oil to brown the tofu, 3 tbsp chili sauce, hot sesame oil. Used a bit more veg. stock adding some to deglaze pan after cooking the tofu. Did not have fresh cilantro used dried. Had no need of cornstarch without the water from the mushroom. Got the heat I wanted, it came out delicious., Very delicious, I accidentally forgot the cilantro at the end…Oh well. I also think that I will add more chili-garlic sauce because I would have liked it to be a bit spicier. I added about 1-2 tbsp. peanut butter to mine and used udon noodles instead of the rice as stated.
