Asian Chili Garlic Tofu Stir-Fry

Serving size: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • CHILI GARLIC SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • ½ Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • ½ inch ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
  • 2-3 tsp cornstarch, mixed with a tablespoon of water
  • TOFU INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp wheat or other GF flour
  • 14 oz. extra firm tofu

Instructions

  1. Place tofu on a paper towel lined plate. Cover the top of the tofu with more paper towels, then place a plate on top of the paper towels. Let sit 30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut tofu into ½ - 1 inch pieces. Mix with flour and cornstarch, coating evenly.
  2. In a non-stick pan, heat oil and add tofu. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring often until a crust forms on each side of the tofu. Take out of the pan and set aside.
  3. Using the same pan, heat ½ tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add shallots and cook 1-2 minutes. Add ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar and honey, mix well. Cook 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add broth and bring to a boil. Mix in the cornstarch mixed with water. Once liquid has thickened, add tofu and mix to combine. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve warm.
