Sweet, hot and garlicky stir-fry that goes well over rice
Source: NYT Cooking
1. Squeeze the extra moisture out of the tofu and let it drain for at least 30 minutes. When dry, cube it.
2. Preheat the oven to 400. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silat mat.
3. Put the cubed tofu in a bowl and drizzle with 1 T. olive oil and 1 T. Soy sauce. Stir gently. Then sprinkle with the cornstarch and stir again until no white starch is visible.
4. Turn the prepped tofu onto the baking sheet and let it bake for 25 minutes, stirring it midway through, until evenly browned.
5. When the tofu is ready, heat the sesame oil in the big skillet or wok until hot. Add the ginger, garlic, scallions and pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
6. Add the tofu to the skillet. Combine gently but thoroughly with the ginger-garlic-red pepper-scallion mix.
7. Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir. Then pour in the rice wine and soy sauce.
8. Bring the liquid in the skillet just to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced and started to thicken, about 15 minutes.
9. Turn off the heat, add the basil and stir to combine. Serve immediately atop white rice.
