Sanbeiji Tofu

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Set aside.
2. In a large, deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the vegetables in the oil until golden. Add the ginger and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the rice wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and sambal oelek. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Increase the heat slightly. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and let boil for a few seconds until the sauce has thickened. Add the tofu and toss with a spoon to coat in the sauce. Cover. Turn off of the heat and let sit for 2 minutes to warm the tofu. Add the basil and serve immediately. Serve with white rice, if desired.
