General Tsos Tofu

Ingredients

• For the sauce
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons cooking sherry
• 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons chicken or vegetable stock (you can use the store-bought stuff)
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• For the stir-fry
• 1 splash vegetable oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 one-inch piece of ginger
• 1 bunch scallions
• 1 handful dried red chiles (like a real handful. More than you would think. López-Alt recommends eight, and I think that’s a minimum. You don’t necessarily eat the things, but they create the ambient heat that’s so essential to this dish. Also they look cool.)
• 1 pound tofu (firm or extra-firm are the most attractive choice, as they won't fall apart; I like silken despite its messiness)
• 1 medium head of broccoli
