Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine green onion, red onion, garlic, jalapeño, and ginger and grind into paste. Cover and refrigerate while tofu is prepared.

2. In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except tofu, vegetable oil, and soy sauce. Whisk together vigorously by hand or with hand mixer until well combined; set aside.

3. Tear tofu by hand into chunks of various size. In a non-stick skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Sauté tofu until slightly and evenly browned. Sprinkle on soy sauce and sauté 1 or 2 minutes. It may be necessary to sauté tofu in a few batches, depending on skillet size. Combine all ingredients and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. Reheat in a non-stick skillet over low heat and serve.
