Spiced up Tofu image

This is a recipe I got from a grocery store. I had a sample of it and it was too spicy for me It made my mouth hot but was still tasty! I thought I would submit the recipe anyway. There is a milder version of this recipe under my recipes as well(recipe #90928). If you want this a little saucier, just add more of the sauce ingredients.
