Sweet and Sour Tofu



Vegan Yum Yum Recipe mildly adapted to my ingredients

Ingredients:

1 Tub Extra Firm Tofu, pressed (If you can, use frozen and thawed Tofu)
2 tsp Ener-g Egg Replacer + 4 tsp water, mixed
1/4 Cup Cornstarch
1/8 Cup Canola Oil & 1/8 cup Olive Oil
Sesame Seeds for garnish

Sauce
3 1/2 Tbs Seasoned Rice Vinegar
1/4 Cup Water
2 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 1/2 Tbs Ketchup
1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 1/2 Tbs Cornstarch

1.Slice the tofu into triangles or small cubes. Smaller is good in this recipe.

2.Gently Toss tofu with the egg replacer/water mixture until coated.

3.Add cornstarch until each piece is well coated.

4.Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok.

5. While oil is heating, mix sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch/water into a small sauce pan and whisk over medium heat until sugar and salt is dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture and whisk until the sauce thickens. Keep an eye on this or it will stick to the bottom of the pan.

6. Fry tofu for about 5 minutes on each side (until golden.)

7.Drain/Dab Tofu of excess oil

8.Toss gently with sauce.

9. Top with sesame seeds and eat pronto.
