Red Hot Chile Tofu


Red Hot Chile Tofu from Vegan Fire and Spice

Ok, this is my favorite tofu recipe of the entire month. And I'm already looking forward to making it again. This is spicy hot and soooo satisfying. The texture of this tofu is really incredible and different than most tofu dishes I've made. The coating gives it more crunch. I think that's the best way to describe it, but you've got to try it for yourself. We had it with rice and a side of stirfried vegetables and "ooohed" and "aaahed" all the way through dinner.

It's from Vegan Fire and Spice by Robin Robertson. This is definitely one of my favorite cookbooks, with loads of great ideas that can easily be spiced up or down depending on your tastebuds. If you've been thinking about getting it, now is the time. It's on sale!

Get it Ripe Vegan is the next book on my wishlist. What's yours?

TLO, this tofu is really good...and I'm confident it will be my fave for the whole month. Then again, there are some other awesome sounding tofu recipes in there- like 5 Spice Tofu, Asparagus and Tofu...yum!

mmm, I love spicy tofu... I usually make a vegan version of Ma Po Tofu, but yours looks scrumptious!

APlaceForUs- there is nothing like having homemade seitan in the freezer for whenever. It's the ultimate convenience food.

Felicity, I love ma po!
