Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place the tofu between two plates and weight the top with a brick or heavy can. Press at least one hour, draining water occasionally. Cut into 1/2 cubes. Toss with soy sauce and mirin and let stand 15-30 minute Drain well on paper towels.
  2. Remove the ribs and seeds from the chili pepper, then chop finely.
  3. Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss the drained tofu into the oil, and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, toss in chili pepper, onion, bell pepper, carrot, bean sprouts, and garlic; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce/mirin marinade, vinegar, honey, cornstarch, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Pour over tofu and vegetables, add hot water, toss to coat and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly.
