Ingredient list:
  • 1/2 pound extra firm tofu, cubed
  • 1/2 pound boneless, skinless poulty breast, cubed
  • 2 to 10 dried red chiles (the ones that look like trumpets)
  • 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces (white & green parts)
  • 1/3 cup peanuts, unskinned and unsalted
  • canola oil [or BTD compliant oil] for frying

    Sauce:

  • 4 Tablespoons water
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch [or arrowroot]
  • 4 Tablespoons soy sauce [or wheat-free tamari]
  • 3 Tablespoons rice wine, mirin or sherry, [optional]
  • 1 teaspoon sugar [or agave]


How to make it:
  • Put a medium pot of salted water to boil.
  • Place the tofu into the rapidly boiling salted water. Let the tofu remain in the water until it returns to a boil and the tofu cubes rise to the top.
  • Drain.

    Sauce:

  • In a bowl, mix the cornstarch [or arrowroot] into the water.
  • Add the soy sauce [or tamari], mirin and sugar [or agave].
  • Stir to blend.

    Main Dish:

  • Heat a flat-bottomed skillet and pour enough oil to coat bottom.
  • Fry chilies until they begin to turn brown.
  • Remove with slotted spoon and put on a plate.
  • In same oil, fry peanuts until they begin to turn brown and remove with slotted spoon to the plate.
  • In same oil, fry tofu cubes and poultry cubes.
  • Let the poultry and tofu cook until brown (the tofu will be crispy-looking), turning to brown all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over all.
  • Sauce with thicken very quickly, in 30 to 60 seconds. (This is not a runny-sauce dish!)
  • Add green onions, cook together less than a minute. Add chilies and peanuts back to re-warm for a few seconds and serve!
  • Serve with a nice Asian rice.
