Vegan: General Tao Tofu



A wonderful vegan twist on one of my favourite dishes. Works great with any combination of vegetables. Nice and crunchy, the tofu is surprisingly close to it's winged counterpart.



I highly recommend using peanut oil for best results. It also has a lower smoke point. Also, bok choi tastes fantastic when sauteed with the tofu.

What you need:
  • 400g of tofu
  • Peanut oil for frying
  • 4 tbsp of soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp of sesame oil and rice vinegar/wine
  • 2tbsp of brown sugar
  • 1 pack of bok choi
  • Optional: Dried chili
1. Deep fry with diced tofu in peanut oil.




2. Remove most of the oil, and saute the bok choi, until soft.

3. Add the rest of ingredients, along with tofu. Until everything is crisp and generally looks really delicious.

Serve with some white rice.
