Chili Garlic Tofu Recipe

In a frying pan over medium heat with enough oil to reach halfway up the sides of the pan, fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides. Drain on a rack over paper towels. Set aside. 

Meanwhile, in a wok over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil and sauté garlic and onion until just translucent. Add chili garlic sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and siling labuyo, if using. Bring to a simmer, and let thicken slightly. 

Add fried tofu to the wok and toss. Add cornstarch mixture, and toss again. Cook, while tossing, until the sauce thickens. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve while hot.
