Kung Pao Tofu

Modified by Corina, based on a recipe by The Spruce Eats



Follow the instructions from spruce eats to make the tofu:

Cut a block of tofu into small pieces. Marinate these for ~1 hour  in 3 tablespoons broth, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tablespoons tamari, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil. Place the marinated tofu pieces in a single layer on an oven pan, and bake in the oven at 210C for 30 minutes (until they start to crisp), turning occasionally to bake them evenly.

You can eat the tofu just like this as a snack. We also sometimes add a potato: cut the potato into small pieces, place these next to te tofu on the oven pan, cover them a little in the marinade liquid, and bake together with the tofu.

Alternatively use the tofu (and the potato) in a stir fry. We use different flavours in the stir fry, for example you can add:
toasted sesame oil
tamari
chili flakes
kefir lime leaves
rice vinegar
sambal
agave
Heat these in a pan, add various vegetables (for example carrots, bell pepper, sugar snaps), and add the tofu.
