Crispy Kung Pao Tofu Recipe

Toss the tofu with the cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl until coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the tofu and fry until browned and crispy all over, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

Mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in another bowl. Set aside.

Heat the second tablespoon of oil in the pan and fry the onion and peppers over medium heat until softened, another 6-8 minutes.

Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another minute, stirring constantly.

Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Add the tofu back to the pan, stir, and heat through for another few minutes.

Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds, if desired.
