“Tantalize Your Tastebuds with this Sweet and Spicy Fried Tofu Recipe for Stay at Home Parents!”
Fried Tofu with Sweet and Spicy Sauce
As a stay at home parent, I am always looking for easy and delicious recipes to make for my family. Fried tofu with sweet and spicy sauce is one of our favorites. Not only is it quick and easy to make, but it is also packed with flavor. The sweet and spicy sauce pairs perfectly with the crispy fried tofu, making it a great meal that everyone in my family enjoys.
I always start by preparing the ingredients for the dish. I use firm tofu, which I cut into cubes before frying. I also mix together a simple sweet and spicy sauce which consists of honey, soy sauce, garlic, chili powder, and sesame oil. For added crunch and texture, I like to add some chopped peanuts to the sauce.
Once all of my ingredients are prepped, I heat up some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot. Then, I add the tofu cubes and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about five minutes per side. Once the tofu is cooked through, I remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Next, I reduce the heat on my skillet to medium-low and add my sweet and spicy sauce to the pan. I cook it for 1-2 minutes until it starts to bubble before adding the fried tofu back into the pan and tossing everything together until everything is well coated in the sauce.
Once everything is combined, I serve up the fried tofu with its sweet and spicy sauce right away while it’s still hot. My kids love this dish so much that they often ask for seconds!
Ingredients:
-1 block of firm tofu
-1/4 cup honey
-1/4 cup soy sauce
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1 teaspoon chili powder
-1 teaspoon sesame oil
-2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
-Vegetable oil for frying

I was first introduced to Pho when my family immigrated from Vietnam to Canada when I was 8 years old. My mom would make us this delicious soup every Sunday night after church as a special treat for us kids. We would eagerly await her arrival home from church so we could gather around the dinner table to enjoy her famous Pho recipe! Even though we may not be able to gather around our dinner table as often as we used to due to our hectic schedules these days, I still enjoy making this easy Pho recipe as a way to reconnect with my roots while creating lasting memories around our dinner table that my kids will cherish for years to come.
