General Tso's Tofu

    A long time favorite Chinese food of mine (and many others I'm sure) is General Tso's Chicken. This is one of those foods that I get random cravings for sometimes and it doesn't go away until eat it. Because I am now vegan I decided to try making it with tofu- though I didn't expect it to be as good. Thankfully I was in for a wonderful surprise-it was quite delicious and satisfactory! 

General Tso's Tofu

-1 container of tofu (I used sprouted grain tofu from Trader Joe's)

-General Tso Sauce (also from trader Joe's)

-1 cup of brown rice

-1/2 bag of frozen broccoli (thawed)

-corn starch
