  3. You may need to more or less of each ingredient, depending how you want it to taste.
  4. Ours tasted sweet but spicy!

  8. When the skillet is good and hot, add the tofu strips, carefully, one at a time.
  9. Be careful not to overcrowd.
  10. 3.
  11. Cook the tofu for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  12. 4.
  13. Transfer the tofu to a plate with a little water on it (to help keep the tofu moist while you continue cooking).

  25. After a few minutes, add the tofu back in and stir carefully so as not to break up the tofu.
