Hi Mona,
You could replace the tofu with paneer, but then you’d lose the health benefits
. Check out our recipe for “Roasted Chutney Paneer”….you’d like that!

Hello Hetal and Anuja,
I tried this recipe today… I added soy sauce and schezwan sauce… everything went well but the taste was bland not salty not spicy not tangy… nothing…. Is it because I have used schezwan sauce?

Hi Priyanka,
The combination of soy sauce and sambal provides the salty and tangy (and spicy) flavors. Since there is no salt in the recipe, you might have to add additional soy sauce to get the salty taste.

Inspired from this recipe…I used knorr’s green chilli garlic sauce with soy sauce… merinated the tofu for an hour in this sauce and then cooked it with the sauce minus the oil on the pan… We ate it with bbq veggies and burgers yum!!

It is a Chinese Chili Sauce and can be bought at Asian stores as well as Walmarts or Targets.
You can substitute it with any chili sauce you you like and have available.

Hi Angie,
Yes, you can make them the day before and just re-heat them on the skillet with just a splash of soy sauce (for moisture) before serving.

Tofu is a soy based product and looks a lot like paneer but does not taste anything like it. It can be found in the Asian grocery stores or in regular grocery stores in the refrigerated section. It is a great vegetarian protein source and is used very commonly in Asian cooking.

Hi Bharathi,
As long as the tofu holds shape while cutting and stir frying, it will work. You can use green chili with vinegar but of course the taste will be different.

Yesterday in our company xmas party this tofu was one of the favorites. I added some coriander powder on the mixture of chili sauce and soy sauce and i let it set for about an hour or so. And slice some cherry tomatoes to goes with. Some of our guest doesn’t like tofu at all but this one was great (they tried it thinking of chicken..hahaha). They even asked me of the recipes.

Hi ladies,
.
First of all, thank you for such a wonderful recipe.
I made this last Sunday as an appetizer for a get together and it was a big big hit. I thought of making 1 pack of tofu(to serve 4) but ended up making 3 packs
I also wanted to tell you that instead of pressing the tofu with kitchen towels, place the tofu in between 2 plates and put some weight on the upper plate. That way it is easier to remove all the liquid.

For us lowly mortals in India
for whom Tofu in neat little packages is not available in most of the supermarkets, I found this youtube video to make home-made tofu.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j29_ACpb4L4
I made a few changes though
- Since I couldnt get hold of a tofu mold, I used a circular seive + cheese cloth and a plate on top with some weights. Only difference is that I got it a big circular shape rather than the rectangular block
- I replaced the coagulator with lemon juice which worked just fine.
Btw, thanks for this great recipe. Simple and sweet.

Hi Kajal,
No, whenever soy sauce is used, salt is usually omitted.
