By: Hey Jude

This is a great appetizer, or pupu as they call them in Hawaii. Serve a platter of this with toothpicks. Decrease the amount of red pepper if you want it less spicy. This comes from Pupus, an Island Tradition by Sachi Fukuda. This makes about 4-6 appetizer servings
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 14 ounces tofu, drained and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6 green onions, cut into 1 inch lengths
Directions
1
Combine hoisin sauce, vinegar, water, sugar, ginger and cornstarch and set aside.2
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add tofu cubes and stir-fry about 2 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides; remove from skillet and set aside.3
Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; stir-fry garlic and shrimp for 2 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring constantly; add green onion and hoisin sauce mixture and red pepper and cook, stirring until thickened and shrimp turns slightly pink, about 3 minutes; add tofu and combine well but stirring very gently so as not to break up the tofu cubes.

Simply outstanding! Have made this twice as a supper dish with basmati rice. Love it, love it, love it! Didn't change anything except for simple replacements like arrowrroot powder for cornstarch, and stevia for sugar. The 2nd time we had this I added diced red pepper in with the garlic and shrimp and frozen green peas at the end, with the tofu. They just need the warming up. So, although it'll feed more as an appetizer, this dish feeds DH and I just fine! Hey Jude, I can't thank you enough for posting this recipe!

This was good. The cornstarch gave the sauce a nice consistency. I added a little more crushed red pepper, but I like things more spicy than most folks!! ; > I found myself wanting add some salt, just to bring out the flavors a little more. So I tossed the shrimp with salt and pepper before I cooked them, and added a few shakes of soy sauce to the sauce as well. Adding the tofu back at the END really helps it to stay in cubes and not fall apart.
