Spicy lemongrass tofu

This delicious tofu dish is infused with lemongrass, fresh garlic and spicy chili sauce. Stir-fried and served with brown rice and vegetables, this is a wonderful meatless dinner idea.

This recipe results in a full-flavored filling tofu that is anything but flavorless. We love serving this alongside vegetables, rice or with both.
