Vegeterian Tips: Make it a goal to eat at least one piece of raw fruit or a handful of raw vegetables every dayI try to eat an apple first thing in the morning to get it out of the way.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 box of firm tofu
- vegan egg replacer for 1 egg
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- vegetable oil for frying
- 3 chopped green onions
- 1 Tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 2/3 cup vegetable stock
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 Tablespoons sugar
- red pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon sherry (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
- steamed broccoli
Directions:
Drain, dry and cut tofu into 1 inch
chunks. You can freeze tofu the night
before to get a more “chicken-like”
consistency, but it isn”t necessary.
Mix the egg replacer as specified on
the box and add an additional 3
tablespoons water. Dip tofu in egg
replacer/water mixture and coat
completely. Sprinkle 3/4 cup
cornstarch over tofu and coat
completely. Watch out that the
cornstarch doesn”t clump up at the
bottom of the bowl.
Heat oil in pan and fry tofu pieces
until golden. Drain oil.
Heat 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil in pan
on medium heat. Add green onions,
ginger and garlic, cook for about 2
minutes. Be careful not to burn
garlic. Add vegetable stock, soy
sauce, sugar, red pepper and vinegar.
Mix 2 Tablespoons water with 1
Tablespoon cornstarch and pour into
mixture stirring well. Add fried tofu
and coat evenly.
Serve immediately with steamed broccoli
over your choice of rice.
