Berner: Couple of quick tips to make this recipe pop a little more.
1. Dry your tofu by pouring boiling salted water over it and setting it to dry in between paper towel layers on a baking sheet. u/J_Kenji_Lopez-alt talks about the process [here](https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/02/vegan-experience-crispy-tofu-worth-eating-recipe.html). I’ve done it several times and it’s great.
2. Don’t use butter. It adds nothing here and won’t jive with the other ingredients. Just use a neutral oil like canola or peanut.
3. I’d use a little corn starch mixed with the soy sauces to get a nice thick sauce.
Other than that this looks pretty great and I’d eat it in a heartbeat.
CaptaineAli: I’m always looking for stir-fry recipes for my younger siblings. This looks pretty easy and tasty as my sister is vegan, although how would it go with chicken? I’m pretty much always just cooking rice and stir-frying small pieces of chicken with the same old sauce and they’re bored of it. Would something similar to this work well for chicken? Or does anyone have any other good stir-fry sauces to suggest? Some of my siblings are younger and not the biggest fan of anything too spicy though which makes it hard.
jjolteon: i had no idea there was dark and light soy sauce 🤔
kandoomagic: Am i the only one who finds it completely unreasonable to say that this feeds 4? I mean to me this is one big or maybe 2 normal size portions? Or is there something im missing? Annoys me that it says it feeds 4 for under a tenner.

Such a delicious dish. And a great way to use up any leftover pepper!
Notes:
Try the tofu at the end. If it is too sugary, add a bit more pepper. If it is too peppery, add a bit more sugar. Get that balance right.
