Healthy & Delicious: Sweet And Spicy Tofu Recipe

• 2 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 package (14-ounce) firm tofu
• 1 red onion, halved and sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/3 cup hot water
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Rice, for serving

1. Drain the tofu, place it on a dry surface, and weigh it down with two or three dinner plates for one hour, draining every few minutes. After time is up, chop tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss the tofu into the oil, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, toss in onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Pour over tofu and vegetables, toss to coat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly. Serve with rice.
