Yummy! This is so awesome and I hate tofu! I used 2 tbsp chili oil and thought it was great, but for my daughter and other normal people, they thought it was a little too spicy. Next time I will only use 1 tbsp. We all thought it a tad too sweet, but I think that was from my soy sauce which is Aloha Shoyu. Shoyu is sweeter than regular soy sauce. I fried the tofu until golden brown. Next time I will fry till crispy even if they are a darker brown. I liked the few smaller pieces that were crunchy. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Easy to make and a nice addictive flavor. I can't compare it to the chicken because I don't think I ever tried it. This makes me wish I did. Nice heat from the chili oil and Dark Sesame oil. Not hot but just a warmth. Will be making it again.

honestly, since the tofu is already very absorbent, there is no need to marinate the tofu. I tried it without marinating it and it tasted amazing. I made it a second time and marinated the tofu, but found that it burned too easily when I fried it and the flavor was too strong and also there was barely any sauce left. it is a good recipe, but I wouldn't marinate the tofu next time.

I made this for the first time today without marinading it. I didn't have any Chili Oil and I think it tasted fine without it. (but I will try it with some if I pick up a bottle) I had a bowl full of egg leftover, so next time I will just use one egg to coat the tofu. It was tasty. I will be making this again.
