Serve! Transfer to a serving plate or dish and sprinkle with chopped spring onion if desired. Enjoy immediately with warm steamed rice!
Although hoisin sauce is made with various spices and salted chili peppers, it is not a very spicy sauce. It is sweet with a hint of tang and flavorful due to the various spices incorporated in it.
Lee Kum Kee Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce is a good quality delicious hoisin sauce that can be used for dips, sauce, marinades, and stir-fries. Kikkoman also produces a great gluten-free hoisin sauce.

Once the jar or bottle is open, store in the refrigerator and use by the expiry date or within 12-18 months. If you purchased hoisin sauce in a can, transfer the sauce to an airtight sealed jar and store in the refrigerator.
I love this hoisin chicken stir-fry with tofu over steamed white rice. But you can serve it with brown rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa if you prefer. It also tastes great with cooked noodles, zoodles (zucchini noodles) and in tortilla wraps or lettuce cups/wraps.

This chicken and soft tofu casserole recipe is a dish of bubbling, delicious comfort. A tofu casserole, usually served in a clay pot, is the very idea of comfort food for many Chinese.
The word “casserole” refers to a dish cooked or stewed slowly, usually in an oven. In the case of Chinese casseroles, they are often cooked in earthenware pots, and while they are indeed stewed and take longer to cook than a stir-fry (which takes seconds or minutes), they still only take about a half hour to cook.
Sweet And Sour Tofu (糖醋豆腐)
While the clay pot is traditional, you can also cook it in your wok (a small dutch oven works great too) and serve it piping hot at the table.
It may seem strange to call tofu the star ingredient of anything, but it really is the bigger player in this dish, with the chicken playing a supporting role.
Tofu is a food that we all look forward to as much as any meat, not because it’s vegetarian or “healthy, ” but because it’s worthy of anticipation!
Minced Chicken With Egg Tofu Recipe
When my parents (and eventually I as well) lived in Beijing from 2011-2014, we bought our tofu at the market down the block from our apartment, where a married couple made tofu of all kinds fresh daily. They had tofu skin, spiced pressed tofu, and silky smooth soft tofu made from freshly set soy milk.
When they’d plop a hunk of it into a tiny bag for us to take home, it was still warm. The flavor (yes, you heard me—it had a flavor!) was not just there in spades, it was out of this world.
We’re back on the store-bought stuff now that we’re back stateside. But that’s okay, because any soft block of tofu will do for this simple recipe. It lets the texture of the tofu shine, with the savory flavors of dried mushrooms and oyster sauce.
Chinese Mapo Tofu
The purpose of the clay pot is to stew/braise for longer periods and also to keep the food hot at the dinner table. If you don’t have one, you can use a small enameled cast iron Dutch oven or simply keep the dish in the wok and plate it when it’s done.
With chicken also often has dried salted fish in it. We didn’t include it in this recipe. However, you can add it simply by mincing it (1 ounce should do), and stir-frying it along with the chicken.
Rinse the dried shiitake mushrooms and soak them in 2 cups of hot water for at least 2 hours (you could also soak these overnight in cold water if you’re thinking ahead). Trim the stems off the shiitake mushrooms and thinly slice them.
Hot And Sour Chicken Soup (酸辣湯
Cut the block of tofu into ¾ inch cubes. Lay the cubes on a large plate, and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, and set aside. Create the sauce mixture by combining the chicken stock, sugar, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
Heat your wok over medium high heat until lightly smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and then the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken just until it turns opaque, about 1 minute. Remove from the wok to a small bowl and set aside.
Chinese Chicken Style Tofu Salad
Add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the wok over medium heat, along with the ginger and the white parts of the scallions.
Add the sauce mixture, and bring it to a simmer. Mix the cornstarch slurry you prepared earlier to make sure it’s well combined. Stream it into the simmering sauce mixture, mixing until it’s thick enough to coat a spoon. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of water or stock.
Carefully pour off any liquid that has collected at the bottom of the plate of tofu, and add it in, folding it into the sauce with just a few turns of your wok spatula.

Transfer the mixture to a clay pot or small 2-qt. Dutch oven, and gradually bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Top with the green parts of the scallions, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes. (Alternatively, keep the tofu in the wok. Lower the heat to medium low, top with the scallions, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes in the wok.)
