Kung Pao Tofu is a vegetarian variation of the popular Kung Pao Chicken. Instead of chicken, this dish uses tofu as the main protein source. The tofu is stir-fried with peanuts, bell peppers, onions, and dried red chilies, and is cooked in a spicy and tangy sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and Sichuan peppercorns. The main difference from Kung Pao Chicken is the substitution of tofu for chicken, making it suitable for vegetarians while still retaining the signature flavors of the dish.
