General Tso Tofu Stir-Fry
with Broccoli and Jasmin Rice
Instructions
1 Boil rice
Combine washed and drained jasmine rice, water and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes until the water has absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving.
2 Prepare sauce
Prepare the sauce by mixing together the sweet soy sauce, rice vinegar, a good squeeze of lemon juice and the chilli flakes.
3 Saute
Separate broccoli to small florets and cut them in half. Chop onion, garlic and ginger. Heat oil in a wok pan or in a large pan over high heat. Sauté broccoli and onion for 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1–2 minutes and add the sauce. Bring it to boil and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so that the sauce becomes thicker.
4 Serve
Cut tofu to cubes and season with salt. Roll in corn starch. Heat oil in another pan and fry the tofu cubes until golden and crispy. Top the veggie wok with crunchy tofu cubes. Serve with rice.
Tips for fussy eaters
Serve the crispy tofu with a spoon of jasmin rice and steamed broccoli.
Pro tip
Typically this dish is served with deep fried chicken in North America. The dish is named after Zuo Zongtang, a Qing dynasty statesman and military leader, although there is no recorded connection to him nor his home province.
