Ingredients
- 1 pkg extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp minced gingerroot, (or 1/2 tsp/2 mL ground)
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3/4 cup vegetable stock or low-sodium chicken stock
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch

Pat tofu dry; cut crosswise into 4 slices. In large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; fry tofu, turning once, until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove to plates and keep warm.
Add remaining oil to pan; fry onion, garlic, ginger and pepper over medium heat until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Add stock and soy sauce; bring to boil. Stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water; stir into pan and boil, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Pour over tofu. Sprinkle with onions.
