CRISPY GENERAL TSO'S TOFU
Crisp, lightly fried chunks of tofu are tossed in a homemade sweet and spicy sauce. This method helps the tofu to get super crispy outside and tender, chewy on the inside. Serve over white rice if desired.

Steps:
- Whisk broth, soy sauce, hoisin, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar, white pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Set sauce aside.
- Place remaining cornstarch in a resealable, zip-top plastic bag. Tear off bite-sized chunks of tofu and drop them into the bag. Shake until each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle on cornstarch by hand, if needed, to coat each piece well.
- Heat oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add tofu pieces one by one and cook until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to move and turn the pieces until browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Pour out any remaining oil. Add the white parts of the green onions and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the sauce. Allow to heat and thicken, about 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss to coat. Discard ginger. Garnish with green onion tops, peanuts, and sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Start a kettle with 2 litres of water. Heat a cast iron pan and a non stick pan over medium/high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the cast iron and the sesame oil to the non stick. Bring out a large metal bowl that a dinner plate would fit over, or a large pot with tight fitting lid. Place a small pot with lid on stove (no need to preheat)
- Place the dry rice noodles in the large metal bowl. Once the kettle boils, pour all but about ½ cup of water over the noodles. Break the noodles apart gently with a fork and then place the dinner plate over and leave until just before plating.
- Pour the remaining half cup of hot water into the smallest pot and add the green beans, then snap peas and put a lid on it. Turn the heat to medium/low and check in five minutes for doneness.
- Cut the tofu into equal pieces about 2x2x1 inch (refer to pictures for size). When the oil in the cast iron pot is near smoking hot, place the tofu in the hot pan and arrange so no pieces are touching. Leave undisturbed for five minutes. The idea is to get a nice crust on the tofu. Flip the pieces when the crust resembles French toast. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or so and then add the pieces to the sauce.
- Grate the garlic and ginger directly over sesame oil pan. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and cornstarch and water mixture. Stir and reduce heat to a low/medium. Cut the scallions into three equal pieces and then roughly into thin strips. Add scallions to sauce and stir to wilt.
- To assemble: drain the rice noodles and place directly on the board. (You may want to toss them in a small amount of oil to keep them from sticking.) Layer the vegetables on top of the noodles, followed by the tofu and any extra sauce. Garnish with lime, Thai basil and/or sesame seeds.

GENERAL TSO'S TOFU
Crispy tofu coated in a spicy, sweet, and salty sauce. I'm not a vegetarian but this is the best General Tso's dish I've had. I like to serve it over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

GENERAL TSO'S TOFU
Crispy tofu in a sweet, blazing hot sauce. In my take on this dish, it gets its tang from tamarind and its heat from Thai dragon peppers. This recipe makes a little extra sauce because it's so good, you'll want to put it on everything.
