Step 1
Garlic / Onions / Carrots / Snow Peas – prep as directed
Step 2
Tofu – Chop into ½” cubes
Step 3
Toss tofu with 1 tbs. of corn starch and season with salt & pepper
Step 4
Make sauce by mixing together soy sauce, vinegar, sweetener, 2 tsp. corn starch, tomato paste, and chicken stock
Step 5
Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbs. oil and then tofu to heated oil. Sauté tofu until outside is golden. The corn starch should also help it form a crispy crust. Remove from pan and set aside
Step 6
Return pan to medium-high heat, and add remaining oil. Add minced garlic and then chopped onions with a dash of salt. Sauté onions until softened, ~2 minutes
Step 7
Add carrots with a dash of salt. Stir-fry for 4 minutes and then add sliced snow peas, also with a dash of salt
Step 8
Add tofu back in shortly after the carrots. Push all ingredients to the side of the pan to form a donut in the middle. Give sauce mixture a stir in case corn starch has sunk to bottom. Pour into the center of the pan. Wait for mixture to darken and bubble a lot. Then toss to coat everything
Step 9
Cook for another minute and then remove from heat and add lemon juice and cashews. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Enjoy with chopped green onions and serve with rice!
