Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces firm tofu or 12 ounces extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 -3 tablespoons curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes, You do this by putting the block of tofu on a plate, Place another plate on top and weight that plate with something heavy like a big can of tomatoes, Drain the liquid.
  • You can skip this step but it makes the tofu a little meatier and less watery.
  • Cut the tofu into 1/2" cubes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok.
  • Stir in the ginger and add the garlic and onions and let saute for a few minutes.
  • Add the tofu and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the tofu is lightly browned on most sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Open can of tomatoes and crush with your hands into the skillet.
  • Now add your curry powder, cinnamon, and chili powder.
  • Stir occasionally until liquid from tomatoes has reduced.
  • Add finely chopped cilantro or parsely (or both, as I do).
  • Stir in and let cook 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Salt and pepper to taste and serve over hot rice!
