For extra flavor, marinate the tofu in the soy sauce for 30 minutes before coating with cornstarch. Adjust the amount of chili paste to control the spiciness of the dish. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli florets, or snap peas to the stir-fry. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
