Sweet & Sour Tofu-Vegetable Stir-Fry

3 reviews rate this recipe 4 of 5 stars.
Serves 4 (serving size: about 1-1/2 cups tofu mixture and 1/2 cup rice)
Hands-on: 25 Minutes - Total time: 40 Minutes

This dish is mildly spicy; to make it extra kid-friendly, omit the chiles from the sweet and sour sauce.

"Delicious and pops in your mouth!" Comment by: HolleeM "This was absolutely delicious! I didn't have Thai chili so I substituted with red pepper flakes which worked perfectly and added a good bit of heat ( 1-1/2 tablespoons). You could definitely make the sauce earlier in the week and even fry up the tofu and then this could be a tasty and fast midweek Mea! Will definitely keep this one for the family!!"

Ingredients:
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
3/4 cup water, divided
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
4 garlic cloves, minced and divided
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons finely chopped hot red chile (with seeds), such as red jalapeño or Thai chile
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 carrots, diagonally cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 (8-ounce) bunch Broccolini, cut into florets and stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups cooked brown rice

Preparation:
1. Place tofu in a shallow dish. Place plastic wrap on top, and weight with a heavy pan; let stand 20 minutes. Discard liquid, and cut tofu into 2 x 1/4-inch pieces.

2. Combine 1/2 cup water, vinegar, and sugar in a small pan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir half of garlic into sugar mixture. Stir in sherry, ketchup, and chile. Cook mixture over medium heat until boiling. Remove from heat; stir in cornstarch, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Stir in soy sauce.

3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to coat. Add tofu in an even layer; cook, without stirring, 2 minutes. Turn tofu; cook 2 minutes. Place on a plate; sprinkle with salt.

4. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add bell pepper; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add remaining garlic; stir-fry 10 to 20 seconds. Remove to plate with tofu. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add carrots; stir-fry 1 minute. Add Broccolini; stir-fry 3 minutes.

Add remaining 1/4 cup water; cook 3 minutes or until water evaporates. Return tofu mixture to pan. Add sauce mixture; stir to coat. Divide rice among 4 plates. Divide tofu mixture evenly over rice.
