Ingredients

Tofu and Marinade

Kung Pao Sauce

Rice

Preparation

Prepare Tofu

1. Press Tofu

Press the tofu for about 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes.

2. Marinate

In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce with the tofu cubes, and let marinate for 15 minutes.

3. Coat with Cornstarch

After marinating, coat the tofu pieces with cornstarch evenly.

4. Fry Tofu

In a large pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.

Prepare Sauce

5. Mix Sauce Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, Szechuan peppercorns, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.

Cook Vegetables

6. Stir Fry

In the same pan used for tofu, add the diced bell pepper and zucchini. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

7. Add Sauce

Pour the prepared Kung Pao sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine.

Combine and Serve

8. Combine Ingredients

Add the crispy tofu back into the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly.

9. Serve

Serve the Kung Pao tofu mixture over cooked rice and top with chopped green onions and roasted peanuts.
