ingredients are well coated with sauce and sizzling hot, about 1 minute.

NOTES : Make sure to buy firm or extra-firm tofu; silken or soft tofu will

crumble if stir-fried. To promote caramelization on the exterior of the

tofu, turn the cubes as little as possible so that they have time to brown

on several sides.
