General Tso's Tofu

Absolutely fantastic! I have never liked tofu, and I ate seconds of this! We doubled the sauce and added all kinds of veggies (mushrooms, bell pepper, napa cabage) and instead of red pepper flakes used a little chile garlic paste. I also just used flour instead of egg/cornstarch mix. Set aside a bowl for my brother, who thought it was chicken! Will definately be making again!

We LOVE this recipe! Even my kids (1 and 3) gobble it down! It is a great veggie alternative to one of my favorite meat dishes! It got the approval of my sister too who is a tofu skeptic! I am making it for dinner tonight and this is my 2nd time making it, which rarely happens because I change things up to make them better, but this didn't need it! Well done and thanks for sharing!

Oh wow was this good! The smaller and thinner you slice the tofu the better!

This was yum! I will double the sauce next time so there is more to put on rice. This was yum(yes it needs repeating)

I've never had tofu before and I thoroughly enjoyed this. The sauce makes the dish, it is DIVINE. I didn't use the green onions or the sherry and I used powdered ginger instead of fresh but it was still awesome. Will definitely be making it again!

Here's review#93 extolling the virtues of this dish. It's fantastic! DD and I both enjoyed it immensely. Next time I make this I'll try baking it as suggested by some other reviewers. I used firm tofu that was frozen and thawed. The texture was very good. Made for Veggie Swap 38

Great recipe! I made this last night and everyone loved it. I put the egg and tofu in a ziploc bag and then added the cornstarch instead of dipping each piece and it worked out well. I made double the sauce and used a stir fry vegetable blend. I might triple the sauce next time, but I will definitely be making this again!

My DS recently became a vegetarian. I wanted to find a good recipe and this one looked really good. My DS did the sauce and I prepared the tofu and put everything together. He told me to get the silken tofu, as that is what they use in the Chinese restaurant where he works. That was a mistake because it broke apart like scrambled hamburg as it was cooking. It tasted great though, and be both loved it! Next time I will use the firm tofu. We doubled the sauce and may even triple it next time. I threw in snow peas instead of broccoli and it was a great addition. Even if you don't like tofu, I really think you would be surprised at how delicious it is made this way. I can't wait to experiment further with tofu now that I have had it like this. I picked up the taste from the sauce while cooking. I replaced the soy sauce with dumpling sauce as I was out of soy, but it has soy, ginger and garlic in it so it worked great. I still used the same amounts of garlic and ginger. Served on top of brown rice it was a winner all the way! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us Hadice! Linda

Really good! I did freeze the tofu and marinated it for about an hour before cooking. I also double the sauce. I just wish I would have cut the tofu in smaller pieces. Thanks for posting this recipe, I learned lots from trying it.

Very yummy recipe, I cut the tofu really small and probably used more stock than the recipe called for, I added a lot of brown mushrooms chopped small, a head of broccoli chopped small and some snow peas and served with sesame noodles. The family enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for posting. This would also be just as nice without the coating and just adding cornflour and water mixture if in a hurry.

This was wonderful! I'm not a vegetarian and haven't really found a recipe for tofu that I like thus far. But this recipe was great!! I served mine with peanut sesame noodles. Will make again!

Excellent dish for our first foray into the 'World of Tofu'! It took us a little longer than 5 minutes to cook, but we've never used tofu before so maybe that's why. But otherwise, YUM!

Forgot to rate my review earlier so here I am again. I am a rookie at cookie tofu and this is the best recipe I have ever cooked with tofu, hands down! Thank you for sharing, I didn't change a thing and my 8 year old and her friend are eating it too!

We were blown away by how delicious this turned out. We love tofu, but have never had it quite like this! I added a bit more ginger and used brown sugar. I did not bake the tofu, but I did leave it in the oven on warm while preparing the sauce. I didn't think to double the sauce and that's a good suggestion. We were just amazed. Thank you!

Thank you for this recipe. I have made this many times. It actually is my favourite over chicken. I'm going to share it with others on my blog docaitta.blogspot.com, with a link back to your recipe here. Thanks again.

This is delish. I cooked my tofu in peanut oil....I marinated the tofu first as well. Served it to myself with brown rice and broccolini. I will make this for my son when he comes home for xmas. Really good one for tofu...I have usually always hidden it in lasagna or egg dishes.
Thanks so much.

This is a GREAT recipe. I love General Tso's Chicken, and this just made my day. I always marinate my tofu in chicken broth for at least 24 hours to add flavor, so I just used the broth in the recipe. This is one I will definitely use again!
