Derived from LinMarie's "Bourbon Chicken" recipe, this tofu, fried, cooked in sauce and served over rice, won't disappoint; at the moment its my favorite tofu recipe.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 4 oz. servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces extra firm tofu
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Drain the tofu, and then remove excess moisture by cutting it in half lengthwise and microwaving on high, uncovered, for two minutes. Gently squeeze out and wipe off excess moisture, then throw tofu in the freezer for one or two hours before removing to thaw in the fridge -- this will give the tofu a slightly heavier texture.
  • Cut tofu into bite-sized pieces. Combine garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, apple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Pour half of the mixture over the tofu and reserve the other half for later. Marinade tofu for at least 30 minutes.
  • Drain any excess marinade from tofu (into your reserve marinade for later). Coat tofu pieces in flour. Heat oil over medium heat in a large frying pan and fry tofu until golden brown on all sides. (Add more oil as needed, but cook it all out before proceeding).
  • Add reserved marinade to pan, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve over rice.

Not a fan of the bourbon flavor in the tofu. Will try a different marinade next time.

The tofu was a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I'll try adding some more spices to the tofu next time.

I'm not a big tofu fan, but this dish was a game changer! The bourbon marinade really tenderized the tofu and the sauce was out of this world. Definitely recommend.
