General Tao’s Tofu

Ingredients

• 1 pkg General Tao Seasoning
• ¹⁄₄ cup water
• 2 tbsp each ketchup and low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 block (350 g) extra-firm tofu
• 1 tbsp oil, divided
• Sea Salt, to taste
• Black Pepper, to taste
• 2 cups frozen edamame, thawed
• 2 cups snow peas or sugar snap peas
• 2 cups baby spinach

Preparation

1. In a bowl, whisk together seasoning, water, ketchup, and soy sauce. Set aside.
2. Using a paper towel or clean kitchen towel, gently squeeze as much liquid from the tofu as possible. Using a box grater, grate tofu over large holes. It’s OK if some of the block crumbles.
3. In Wok, heat 1⁄2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add half the grated tofu and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until crisp and golden, 5 min. Remove from wok and place in a bowl or on a plate. Heat remaining 1⁄2 tbsp oil and repeat process with remaining tofu. Once the second batch of tofu is golden, return first batch of tofu to wok.
4. Add edamame and snow peas. Stir-fry until snow peas are tender-crisp, 1 min.
5. Turn off the heat, add sauce, and stir gently to coat.
6. Divide between four bowls, top with spinach, and serve with rice noodles, if desired.
