Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the cornstarch and vegetable broth, then add the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, ginger and cayenne pepper until well mixed. Set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the garlic, onion, (and carrots) in oil about 5 minutes.

Heat a splash or so of oil until hot in a pan and then drop in your cubes of tofu. Keep stirring well to fry all sides while you continue the next steps.

Add the pepper and stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the sauce mix to the veggies and cook until mixture thickens, approx 5 to 7 minutes.

Add tofu and allow to cook at least 5 more minutes
