Stir Fried Tofu in Teryaki Sauce (vegan)

This is a new recipe that Rach and I came up with.  We were actually trying to duplicate a black bean dish we tried from Lemon Grass Restaurant.  Lemon Grass is a Thai restaurant that offers gluten-free options.  I was unable to find a black bean sauce without wheat, so we tweaked this and came up with our own quasi version.  It wasn't what we started out to make, but was really good just the same.  So here we go:

You will need:

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 package of firm tofu, cubed
• onion, chopped
• jalapeno, chopped
• 2 tbsp. teryaki sauce
• chili sauce to taste
• salt & pepper

A note on soy sauce before we begin.   Most soy sauce has wheat in it.  Although some sources say the fermentation process in manufacturing it gets rid of the gluten, I have never taken that chance.  VH and No Name both carry a gluten-free soy sauce.  Some would say then it's not soy sauce, but I find it just as good as any other.

Be careful when buying teryaki sauce. Again, many contain wheat.  I found the No Name brand is gluten-free.

Rach and I are just getting into using chili sauce.  This stuff is potent!  It could take tar off the driveway, so use with caution.  You can buy it in the Oriental section of the supermarket.  

Back to cooking...In a large skillet heat oil and garlic.  Add onion and jalapeno until starting to soften.  Add soy sauce, teryaki sauce, chili sauce and tofu.  Cook until incorporated and well heated.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

You can serve with rice or just on it's own.
