INGREDIENTS
    • 3 T dry sherry
    • 2 T light soy sauce
    • 12 oz / 340 g firm or extra firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch / 13 mm dice or 2 cups textured soy protein chunks or cutlets which have been reconstituted in vegetarian broth/stock and cut into 1/2 inch / 13 mm pieces
    • 1/2 cup flour

      Sauce

    • 2 T oil
    • 1/2 t dried red chili flakes
    • Optional: 1/4 t Sichuan pepper
    • 1 heaping T freshly grated tangerine or orange peel (orange part only, preferably organic)
    • 1 T rice, cider or white wine vinegar
    • 1 cup vegetarian broth

METHOD
Toss the sherry and soy sauce with the tofu and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Toss the marinated tofu in the flour, reserving the extra marinade.

Heat a large wok or heavy skillet over high heat. When it's hot, add 1 T of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the half floured tofu cubes. Stir-fry until they are fairly crisp and browned. Remove them from the pan, add the second T of oil, let it reheat and cook the remaining tofu the same way.

Add the first batch of tofu back to the pan along with the pepper flakes, Sichuan pepper and tangerine peel. Stir-fry for a minute, then add the vinegar, remaining marinade and broth. Cook over high heat until most of the broth evaporates. Serve hot.
