When homemade is faster than takeout, it's a no-brainer. So heat up your frying pans and try our 20-minute recipe for sweet and spicy tofu.
Ingredients
350-g block extra-firm tofu
2 tbsp canola oil
8 wonton wrappers, (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 340-g pkgs broccoli slaw
2 cups bean sprouts
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
PAT tofu dry with paper towels. Cut into 2 squares crosswise, then cut each in half, forming 4 squares. Cut each piece diagonally, making 8 triangles. Set aside.
HEAT canola oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium- high. Cut 8 square wonton wrappers into thin strips. When oil is hot, add wonton strips. Cook until crispy and golden, flipping halfway through, 1 to 2 min. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add tofu to pan. Cook until tofu is golden, 4 to 5 min per side. Transfer tofu to a plate and brush with Thai sweet-chili sauce.
ADD garlic, broccoli slaw and bean sprouts to pan. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, 1 to 2 min. Stir in oyster sauce. Season with fresh pepper. Divide slaw among 4 plates. Top with tofu and crispy wontons. Sprinkle with cilantro.
