About General tso tofu
General Tso Tofu is a plant-based twist on the popular Chinese-American dish, featuring crispy tofu cubes coated in a sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy sauce. Typically prepared by tossing pan-fried or baked tofu with a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and a hint of sugar, this dish is often served over steamed rice or alongside vegetables. While it mirrors the bold, savory-sweet flavors of the traditional General Tso’s chicken, the use of tofu offers a high-protein, cholesterol-free alternative suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Tofu is also a good source of iron, calcium (if fortified), and essential amino acids. However, the dish can be high in sodium and sugar due to the sauce, and frying the tofu may add calories and fat. Opting for baked tofu and a lighter sauce can make it a more health-conscious choice while maintaining its signature taste.
