Categories: Asian, Vegetarian

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons peanut oil
• 1/2 pound firm tofu, cubed
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1/2 green chile pepper, chopped
• 1-1/2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons hot water
• 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss the tofu into the oil, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, toss in onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, and garlic; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Pour over tofu and vegetables, toss to coat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly
