Vegetarian company here this week end. Lots of luck with the recipes I
found on the Net. We thought the tofu was outstanding prepared this way.
Drain tofu, pat dry and cut into one inch chunks. Dip tofu in egg and
sprinkle cornstarch ( use a sprinkle canister for best results ) evenly
over both sides of tofu to coat well but make sure no lumps. . Heat oil
in pan and stir fry tofu till golden brown on both sides and set aside.
Make sauce: In some oil, saute onion, ginger and lastly garlic being
careful not to burn garlic. Add stock, soy sauce, red pepper to taste and
vinegar. Mix water with cornstarch to blend. Add to sauce and mix and
stir till thickened and stir well. Evenly place sauce over fried tofu to
coat evenly. Serve with the broccoli and rice
Yield: 4 servings
