  • ⅓ cup Soy Sauce

If you read this blog enough then you know I love fried tofu! I usually just pan fry the tofu in a little bit of oil and sprinkle with some pepper…total yum. This recipe requires that you coat the tofu with some cornstarch which gave it  it a nice crispy coating. Totally delicious. I almost ate all of it until I remembered I was cooking a full meal!

  • In a large pan, add a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
  • Fry tofu evenly on all sides until golden brown.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat.
  • Stir in green onions, garlic, and ginger and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Mix in vegetable stock, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, vinegar, ketchup, sesame oil, and hot sauce.

This sauce is so good. I can’t really describe how good. But I know that if you cook this recipe you will be like, “Yeah, this sauce is so good!”

  • Place the 1 tbsp of cornstarch in the 2 tbsp of water and combine and mix into the pan.
  • Add in broccoli, carrots, and tofu and coat all evenly with sauce.
  • Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot with rice.
