General Tso's Tofu

This is an all time favorite of ours! This dish will satisfy anyones craving for asian food, especially when you don't have money :)! This makes about 2 Large servings or 3 medium servings.

Ingredients:
1-1 Lb. block of extra firm tofu
3/4 Tsp. sesame oil
3/4 Cup vegetable oil
1-2 Heads of broccoli
2 Scallions
White Rice!

For the Sauce:
1/2 Cup Un-chicken broth or Veggie broth
2 Tbsp. Cornstarch or Arrowroot
1 Tbsp. White cooking wine
2 Tbsp. Tamari or soy sauce
2 Tsp. Rice or white vinegar
2 Tsp. Sugar
2 Cloves minced garlic
1 Tbsp. minced ginger
1 Tbsp crushed red pepper (or more if you love spice!)

         First things first! Cook as much rice as you desire (if you have a rice cooker its way easier). Once the rice is all set and starts cooking, begin cubing the tofu into bite size pieces while the rice cooks.
         Next, mix 2 tablespoons of your broth and 2 tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot into a small bowl until smooth. Add the rest of the un-chicken broth, white cooking wine, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, sugar garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper to the bowl and whisk. Set aside for now. Put the veggie and sesame oil in a wok or a decent size pan. Heat the oil on medium-high.
         Once the oil is hot and ready put the tofu in, but be careful! It's hot! Continue to fry the tofu to a nice crispy golden color. Or to your liking.
         Once tofu is done, remove from wok and place over paper towels to drain excess oil. Discard all but about 1 tablespoon of oil from the wok.
         Pour the sauce into the wok or pan and heat on medium and begin to thicken. Once sauce is thick, add tofu, chopped green scallions and broccoli. You can steam your broccoli ahead of time if you wish. If your adding your broccoli cover the wok or pan for about 10 minutes, mixing every few minuets.
         Serve nice and hot over the rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and more green onions if desired!
