General Tso’s Sticky Tofu

I deep fry the tofu. So much easier!

So... the sauce? hell yeah! delicious it was my first time using tofu so it turned out SO UGLY... i think i didn't dry it enough... however the taste is fire, really good recipe! if anyone has any tips on how to make tofu actually crispy i would love to hear 😭

Love this recipe! When I make this I actually just put a good amount of cornstarch in a bowl and roll each piece of tofu around in it so that it has a good coating. I probably use a decent amount more cornstarch than stated in the recipe, although I'm not measuring. (Afterward, I gently toss the cornstarch-coated tofu with the soy sauce and oil in a bowl). It takes a little longer this way, but I think it helps the tofu to crisp up nicely in the pan. Ketchup works great as an alternative to tomato paste. I recommend garnishing with lime, sesame seeds, and green onions!

Used brown rice and added toasted cashews and brocolli.

I will give a full review after I break my fast this evening... so after trying this to be honest I can't tell it's tofu. and it's Hella good. respect to my wife it's delicious oh my God so today was left over day with the General tofu and cauliflower I added that lime and Sriracha before I started yo even better

Added extra sriracha as I found it a bit underwhelming, but great once added the extra spice

Just Tofu on rice, although the sauce is tasty, I felt like it was missing a lot to make it an actual meal

This is delicious! Thumbs up from the whole family and added to my go-to. It's not often I'm able to please everyone so this is definitely a winner

I've never had this before, so not sure what it's supposed to taste like (I don't think it's really a thing in Australia). It was nice! Husband was happy! Would probably tweek the sauce a little next time, maybe less tomato & more soy? Maybe even some apple sauce would be nice. Not sure, would need to play! Unfortunately couldn't add chilli due to the kid which I think would of been very nice, however I added some sweet chilli sauce on the side of mine. I also made some crispy chicken for husband using same method as tofu. Served with mixed Asian vegetables. Forgot the sesame & spring onion ops, that would of been nice!

Don’t follow the tofu instructions with the cornstarch.

Tasty, but definitely more of a sweet and sour rather than general tsao

soooooo good! i had triple the amount of tofu but only doubled the amount of sauce and it came out perfect

Added stir fry veggies. I also double the sauce. Could have used even more sauce. Flavor was amazing.

One of my favorite recipe with tofu!

The cornflour made everything super sticky and I was worried for a hot sec that I’d inadvertently made soy sauce-flavoured Oobleck but it turned out well and was delicious. Added pak choy and spring onions as others have suggested to bulk it out. Sprinkle of lemon or lime at the end really puts a bow on it.

bungled this one!!! put the larger of the two cornstarch measurements in the sauce instead of on the tofu so it came out a bit gelatinous! still tasty, plus besides red pepper flake i added a bit of chili powder AND sriracha in. next time i'll read the directions a little more carefully and let the tofu dry out a little bit more (the outside came out looking very crispy, but when you put your fork in it instantly fell apart, not the end of the world though).

Added dried bok choy to the rice as it cooked. Also added carrots.

Everyone said it taste like chicken added a small bit of liquid smoke and Worcester sauce

Good in theory, but need to tweak the sauce a bit.

I used a jar of sauce instead of making from scratch. Still delicious!

The tofu was perfectly cooked and the spice level was just right, but the sauce was a little too tomato-y for me.

This was great and the tofu was nice and crispy under the sauce. When I was cooking this, I thought I'd combine the corn starch, soy sauce, and oil first before mixing it with the cut tofu to save time but I made oobleck instead and had to throw the paste out. Make sure you mix the tofu first with the corn starch to coat, then add the soy sauce and oil after.

This tofu cooking method was TERRIBLE - never again, I couldn’t even get to the sauce

I’ve been meaning to make this for a while and finally did. It turned out really delicious! Even my anti-tofu spouse liked it. Will definitely make again.

Fantastic recipe! The tofu couldn't have turned out better- it was the perfect taste and texture. I substituted the tomato paste with chili sauce and used maple syrup, it was perfect!! I added chopped celery, mushrooms, and carrots as well.

This was SO good 🤩

Nice but not overly exciting. Used sriracha instead of chilli flakes, think the chilli flakes would have been better for a bit of a kick. Good amount of sauce. We air fried the tofu rather than frying.

Very good and filling. Not sure if I'd make it again though.

Even though i am not a huge fan of sweet and spicy, this actually tasted pretty good. I would definently try and make it again.

SO good. Used air fryer and worked fantastic. Will make again

This sauce is amazing and easy to make. I pressed the tofu, froze it, and pressed it again after defrosting, and I actually made it a little too dry. I also baked it instead of frying, so may try frying next time. Followed other peoples tip of using less cornstarch and it worked well.

i used 3tsp of cornstarch for frying the tofu and that was enough. siracha mayo on top

Next time I will make tofu in the air fryer. It will be more crispy then. Sauce is SO good. I wasn't expecting much but I really did like this recipe. Note: recipe does not include time to make rice. This recipe will probably take longer than advertised

I skipped the cornstarch and it still turned out AMAZING!

So much cornstarch! If I made again I would only use about 4 for the crunchy tofu and I would pre-marinade it in some soy sauce or tamari before coating in cornstarch or break it into very small prices because the overall taste is very cornstarchy and the tofu inside is flavourless

we added Sriracha to the sauce which really took it up a notch and toned down the intense tomato flavor a bit. highly recommended

baked the tofu instead of frying it
