Spicy Gen 'So Dish With Tofu

This was my first time making ANY tofu dish! It was kinda fun.Since starting my new clean eating habit, I am definitely more interested and motivated to cook than ever before. I am also finding out that I am not so bad at it, which is slightly surprising. Plus, I get the added benefit of knowing exactly what is going into my food. I love Chinese food, but am finding that take-out is not so in line with clean eating. So I decided to make it on my own. This was my first shot at the recipe, and it was pretty simple and turned out yummy.

 Ingredients:

• 1 (16 ounce) box organic, firm tofu
