Tofu Tomato

This is my version of a tofu dish that we fell in love with at a Chinese Restaurant.
My girls call it "Nummy-Nummies" (because it's so yummy!)

1 lb. Firm or X-tra firm water pack tofu (best frozen & then thawed)
2 T peanut or canola oil
onion
1-2 T minced garlic
2 qrts of canned tomatoes
1/4 tsp Chinese Five spice
2 T sesame oil
½ tsp. Ginger
Sriracha hot chili sauce to taste (I use at least a half tsp)

Cut tofu into small cubes. Saute until lightly browned in the peanut oil. Add the sesame oil, onion & garlic. Stir fry until lightly browned. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 30-40 minutes. Serve over rice. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top when it’s served.
