Recipe: Quick Szechuan Tofu

Hi Everyone,

This is a tasty tofu recipe that you can accent with some sauteed greens with ginger and some steamed brown rice. I like the heat that the sriracha gives it, but you can adjust it to your taste. Sesame oil is also a favorite of mine, giving it a nice toasted flavor. Enjoy!
