Honey Cashew Tofu #vegetarian #dinner #easy #tofu #recipes

Firm Tofu hurled in a very delightful sweet sauce with ringer peppers and toasted cashews.

This Asian style Honey Cashew Tofu will be your new most loved approach to eat tofu!

In the event that you have been around here a piece, you realize we are not enthusiastic about tofu. I am still alright with it yet Sarvesh can't stand it. On the off chance that I simply give him a tofu scramble to eat, he won't eat it.

In any case, in the event that I hurl the tofu in a hot masala like in this tofu tikka masala or in a sweet and fiery sauce like in this Honey Cashew Tofu, at that point he wouldn't see any problems with eating it.

I mean it won't at present be his most loved yet he would eat tofu and that is sufficient for me to state that this formula is a triumph. So in the event that you have somebody like my better half who abhors tofu, at that point do check out this formula.

• 12 oz extra-firm tofu, cubed, around 2.5 cups cubed tofu
• 3 tablespoons +2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4+ 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste

• 5-6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 inch ginger, finely chopped
• 5 stalks green onion, chopped, white and green parts separated
• 1/4 cup cashews, toasted

Instructions :

1. Before you start, press the tofu with a heavy object for 15 to 20 minutes to get rid of excess moisture. Then dry it completely with a paper towel and then cut into cubes. If tofu has moisture in it, it will not crisp up well.
2. First make the sauce. In a large bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the sauce - soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sweet chili sauce, tomato ketchup, sriracha, toasted sesame oil and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, toss tofu with 3 tablespoons cornstarch, black pepper and salt until all pieces are coated.
4. Heat 2.5 tablespoons of oil to a pan on medium heat. Arrange tofu piece in single layer on the pan.
5. Cook the tofu for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining tofu. Remove fried tofu on a plate lined with paper towel.
6. To the same pan now add the bell peppers, cook them for around 2 minutes, you want them crunchy. Remove on a plate along with tofu on a plate lined with paper towel.
7. To the same pan now add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, add garlic, ginger and white part of green onion. Cook for 1 minute until ginger and garlic start changing color.
8. Stir in the prepared sauce along with the remaining 2 tablespoons water and let it come to a boil.
9. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add the cornstarch slurry to the pan. Make sure to give it a quick stir before adding to the pan as cornstarch settles down at the bottom when left unattended.
10. Stir the sauce, it will begin to thick immediately.
