Stir Fried Sweet Chilli Tofu
Ingredients
2 blocks extra firm tofu (around 240g each), sliced into cubes1 heaping tbsp corn starch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced into squares
2 tbsp sesame oil, for frying
Onion leeks, chopped
Sweet Chili Sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced1/2 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp chili sauce (I used sriracha)
1/8 cup soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
Directions
-
Dry the tofu and cut into cubes. I wrap the tofu in towels and place a plate on top of it until excess liquid is absorbed by the towels.
-
Sprinkle the salt on the tofu cubes. Add the cornstarch. Coat the tofu well.
-
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce.
-
In a pan, heat around 1 1/2 tbsp of oil and then fry the tofu cubes until crisp and golden. You may need to turn around the tofu cubes.
-
Take out the tofu and sautee the onion leeks and bell peppers in a little oil.
-
Add in the tofu, sauce, and then mix well. The sauce will thicken from the corn starch.
-
Serve with a bowl of rice and enjoy while hot!
