| 1 | pound | tofu | firm |
| Filling | |||
| 1 | tablespoon | peanut oil | |
| 3 | tablespoons | cilantro | minced, fresh |
| 2 | tablespoons | garlic | finely chopped |
| 2 | tablespoons | scallions, spring or green onions | finely chopped |
| 1 1/2 | tablespoons | ginger | fresh, minced |
| 2 | teaspoons | chili pepper flakes | or powder |
| 1 | tablespoon | soy sauce, dark | |
| 1 | teaspoon | sugar | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | sesame oil | |
| 2 | cups | peanut oil | for frying |
| Sauce | |||
| 1 | tablespoon | peanut oil | |
| 1 | tablespoon | garlic | finely chopped |
| 1 | tablespoon | ginger | minced, fresh, peeled |
| 1 | tablespoon | soy sauce, dark | |
| 1 | tablespoon | rice wine | |
| 2 | teaspoons | soy sauce, light | |
| 1 | teaspoon | sugar | |
| 1 | cup | chicken broth | |
| 1 | teaspoon | cornstarch | mixed with 1 ts water |
| 2 | teaspoons | sesame oil | |
DRAIN THE TOFU AND CUT IT into 2-inch squares. Set to drain further on paper towels.
Heat a wok or large sauté pan until is is hot. Add the oil and all the filling ingredients and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Put the cooked ingredients in a bowl and allow them to cool thoroughly. Heat a wok or large sauté pan until it is hot.
Add the 2 cups oil and, when it is hot, deep-fry the tofu on both sides until it is golden brown.
Remove the tofu squares from the wok, drain them well on paper towels, and allow them to cool thoroughly. Drain and discard the oil. Take each of the tofu squares and, with a knife, split it slightly open on one side so a pocket is formed.
Place a spoonful of cooked filling in each of the pockets. Continue to fill the squares until you have used all the tofu.
Wipe the wok clean, reheat, and add 1 tablespoon oil. Then add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Then add the rest of the ingredients except the cornstarch mixture and sesame oil.
Bring the mixture to a boil, return the fried bean curd pieces and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Now add the cornstarch mixture, stir gently to combine, and then add the sesame oil.
Give the mixture a final turn and serve at once.

Many people won’t be aware of this statement, but February 3rd is probably going to be the unhealthiest day of the year. The reason for this is because Super Bowl XLII is being held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona....
