For those who prefer a vegetarian option, Gong Bao Tofu is a fantastic choice. This recipe replaces the chicken with firm tofu, which is stir-fried until crispy and then combined with peanuts, dried chili peppers, and a flavorful sauce. The sauce is made from soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and Sichuan peppercorns, just like in the traditional recipe. The result is a delicious and satisfying vegetarian dish that still captures the essence of Gong Bao Chicken. Serve it over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
