Kung Pao Tofu is a flavorful Chinese-inspired dish that combines tofu, vegetables, and peanuts in a spicy, savory sauce. Originating from Sichuan cuisine, it is typically made with cubed tofu, stir-fried red and green bell peppers, zucchini, scallions, garlic, ginger, and dry roasted peanuts. The dish is coated in a rich sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, hoisin, and a hint of chili for its signature heat. Packed with plant protein from the tofu and fiber-rich vegetables, Kung Pao Tofu is a nutritious option for those seeking meat-free alternatives. The inclusion of peanuts adds healthy fats, though it can increase calorie density. While the dish is nutrient-dense, its sodium content may be high due to the sauce ingredients, so moderation is key, or opt for low-sodium varieties. Served over rice or noodles, Kung Pao Tofu offers a satisfying balance of spice, crunch, and vibrant nutrition.
