Adapted from a General Tso’s Chicken recipe in Men’s Health Magazine and posted on the Vegan Kitchen. The baked tofu is a great vehicle for the spicy-sweet sauce. Serve it over brown rice and tons of bright green steamed broccoli. Enjoy!

this turned out really well and was pretty easy. The sauce was the perfect consistency. I did add a bit more soy sauce out of personal preference.1Reply

Seriously delicious! I substituted bbq sauce for the sriracha sauce since that's what I had on hand and I left out the broccoli since I had another side in the works. I cut the tofu into slabs and baked as directed.1Reply

Awesome way to serve tofu. I especially liked the way the baked tofu tasted when it came out of the oven; I could have just eaten t by itself with a bit of sea salt sprinkled over. The spicy-sweet sauce made it taste even better though. I mixed in the broccoli with the sauce, and served everything over brown rice. I fill like a added too much corn starch at the end, but it still tasted great. [Made and reviewed for PRMR]1Reply
