Of late I’ve been trying to make really easy recipes to make my life a bit easier!My previous recipe was a quick no cook/bake dessert and this time I’ve followed that up with an easy Tofu dish that makes for a great weeknight meal with noodles or rice.Tofu is very delicate and tends to break-up many-a-times, but if you brown it in a little bit of oil, it holds it shape much better in my opinion.I also buy extra firm tofu for my stir fries and squeeze out all the water before working with it.
The sauce that I’ve made here is extremely easy with the main ingredient being this Chili Garlic sauce that I picked up at a Korean Store. I’ve made the same recipe with chicken strips for a different variation and it came out delicious.You could use it for any stir fry for that spicy garlicky heat!
It has just the perfect amount of heat and spice and its very similar to the Indo Chinese preparations served in Indian restaurants without any effort literally.It could easily pass off as one of my best Tofu dishes!

Very good recipe overall! I recommend maybe using even more veggies (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, snow peas) and making the dish more flavorful with use of more of the soy sauce and chili garlic sauce. I also baked the tofu instead of frying…baking on 375 degrees F for 15 minutes (flip tofu pieces over about 7 minutes in) and then added them to the stir fry.
thanks for sharing.
Very nice vegetarian dish – I love stir fry because we can cook in less than 5 minutes and it’s so simple! Unfortunately my kids and I can’t really eat spicy food but my husband loves super spicy food. 🙂 Looks delicious!
Tofu is just a great addition/substitution for any meat dishes. I just made some thai curry with tofu, super easy & quick!

the garlic chilli sauce looks delish! I’m all about easy recipes and this looks perfect for a midweek dinner!
Oh goody! I just bought some of that Chili Garlic Sauce because it sounded like something I would like, but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I know! I’m glad you mentioned that you made this with chicken because the husband isn’t a big tofu fan. Love this recipe and the fact it’s so easy – makes me love it even more!
OMGoodness Soni,this recipe looks spectacular, and I adore all the ingredients and method in which you incorporated them. I’ll have to give this a whirl fairly soon, thanks so much dear lady 😉
Though I tried tofu 2-3 times,but haven’t loved it much..will try this with paneer..Yummy stir fry!

Yum! Yum! Yum!
YUMMY! I love tofu & these looks so mouthwatering! I saw this chili garlic sauce at the Asian store the other day! will definitely trying this yummy recipe! 🙂
The simple dishes can be the best sometimes, I do that too esp when I am stuck with time. We love to eat tofu and this is such a lovely recipe and of course, the more spicy, the more I will drool.
I like tofu prepared at any style. This stir-fry with spicy sauce looks just as marvelous.
Hi Soni!
I’ve seen that Chili Garlic Sauce in the supermarket but haven’t yet tried it. You’ve given me a reason to get it now. May I say that you brown your tofu expertly! I buy six cakes of extra-firm tofu per week as a dinner ingredient, and I welcome this recipe with open arms!
