I have never liked tofu until recently. The tofu that I have tasted so far have been either too soft and crumbly or too hard and rubbery. But few weeks back I visited Brewery Bhavana, a popular restaurant here in Raleigh and I tasted their General Tso’s Tofu. I was transformed. It was pretty simple with just tofu but it had the perfect texture (I think it was fried) and some delicious sweet and spicy sauce. I wanted to recreate something similar and started browsing various recipes online. I made few attempts at homeand discovered that Tofu isn’t all that bad if you cook it right. The key is making sure you drain the water out of the tofu well and cooking it (I prefer pan frying or baking it) until they are nice and crispy, not too hard or soft. I tried using the various sauces I usually have at home and I ended up with a surprisingly delicious hot and sweet tofu. I added some nut butter for some nuttiness and creaminess and it worked really well. I also added some vegetables for the little one, who is still not all that fond of tofu herself. So some broccoli and carrots for her, I served it with some brown rice. They are super easy to prepare and tastes even better the next day. So here goes the recipe –
Easy hot and sweet tofu perfect on a busy weeknight
Note: Use whatever sauce you have at hand. I usually have a bottle of maggi hot and sweet sauce at home, so used it for this dish. You can use any spicy sauce instead of it.
