General Tso's Tofu



All three of us like tofu dishes. Though I make a variety of different dishes with tofu, this one is the most loved tofu dish in our household ever since I tried it the first time couple of years ago. This one goes well with   any of the Chinese rice preparations, with plain rice or even with any of the Indian breads.

3/4 cup cornstarch or all purpose flour mixed with salt and pepper

2/3 cup vegetable stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
