Sweet chili sauce is an ingredient that I normally use for the likes of dipping my tofu dumplings and veggie spring rolls. But with a little tweak (adding a touch of soy sauce), it makes a great stir-fry sauce as well. This dish is sweet, savory, and just a tiny bit spicy. It tastes like it came from your favorite Asian takeout joint, but you can easily make it at home, and probably in less time than it would take for deliviery! Tip: Sweet chili sauce is pretty mild, despite the name. If you’d like to add some kick to your sweet chili tofu, add some sriracha, red pepper flakes, or your favorite hot sauce.
