1x 14oz package of extra-firm tofu, drained
¼ cup reduced-sodium or gluten-free soy sauce (plus 2 tbsp for later)
3 tbsp cornstarch, divided
1x 2″ piece of fresh ginger, minced
2x garlic cloves, minced
2x medium scallions, chopped, whites and greens separated
2x medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into ½” cubes
2x medium red bell peppers, cut into 1″ cubes
2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tbsp dry sherry (you can also use Chinese vinegar here)
1 tbsp brown sugar
2-3 tsp Sambal Oelek fresh-ground chili paste
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil, divided
2 tbsp lightly salted peanuts, chopped (optional)

Use a tofu press or DIY pressing method to squeeze any excess liquid out of the tofu.
While your tofu is pressing, prep your veggies.
Once the tofu has been pressed, transfer it to a cutting board, place the block on its side, and slice it lengthwise. Next, flip it back over to lie flat and cut the tofu into 32 equal-sized cubes, roughly 1-2″ each.
Arrange the tofu cubes in a shallow container, so that they make one even layer.
Place the tofu to one side and combine 2 tbsp of soy sauce with 2 tbsp of cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk them together, then pour the sauce over the tofu.
Flip the tofu cubes to ensure all sides are well coated in the marinade, then leave to sit while you make the Kung Pao sauce.
Take a medium bowl and add the remaining ¼ cup of soy sauce, ½ cup of water, and the remaining 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Next, add the vinegar, sherry, brown sugar, and Sambal (I would recommend using a maximum of 3 tsp of Sambal if you like your sauce spicy, but start with less and add more to taste).
Whisk the sauce ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
Place a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of sesame oil.
Once the sesame oil is warm, add the marinated tofu cubes, being careful of splattering oil.
Fry the tofu for 8-10 minutes, occasionally flipping and stirring to ensure it cooks evenly and get nice and crispy on all sides.
Once all sides of the tofu cubes are browned, remove the cubes from the heat and set to one side.
Add the final tbsp of sesame oil to the hot pan, then add the ginger, garlic, and scallion whites and sauté for 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to high, then place the zucchini and peppers in the pan.
Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes, occasionally stirring, then add the tofu and sauce to the pan.
Stir-fry everything for 2-4 minutes. The sauce should thicken, and all the ingredients should be well coated.
Serve hot, sprinkled with the halved peanuts and scallion greens.

How to cook tofu with green onions and garlic?

For the Sauce: –

▢ 3 tablespoons soy sauce ▢ 1 tablespoon rice vinegar ▢ 1 tablespoon maple syrup ▢ 1 teaspoon corn starch ▢ 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons water

Cut the tofu into cubes and put it in a bowl. Add two tablespoons of corn starch. Make sure all cubes are covered in corn starch. Dice the bell peppers. Cut the green onions into rings and finely chop the garlic and the ginger. Heat some sesame oil in a large pan. Cook until lightly browned and crispy. In the meantime, make the sauce. Place all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until combined. Once the tofu is crispy, set aside. Heat some more sesame oil in the same pan and add the garlic, the ginger, and half of the green onions. Cook for 2 minutes on medium heat. Stir constantly. Then add the remaining green onions and the bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Stir a few times. Then add the tofu, the peanuts, and the sauce and stir carefully. Season with red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve the kung pao tofu with rice and sprinkle with more green onions.

Tofu : You need firm tofu for this recipe. The firmer, the better. If the tofu you are using is not firm enough, you could press your tofu with a tofu press or a stack of cookbooks and paper towel for 30 minutes before starting with the actual recipe. Check out my tips on how to press tofu, Spiciness : I made my Kung Pao tofu relatively mild by only seasoning it with red pepper flakes. If you’re looking for a spicy version, you could fry up some roughly chopped dried red chilies together with the green onions, the garlic, and the ginger. This will make it really spicy! You could also fry up some dried chilies in sesame oil first and then remove them before adding the other ingredients. This way the oil will become a bit spicy.
