Nom nom nom…

I saw this recipe on VeganYumYum and knew that I had to make it. I also have an announcement to make to the vegan (and eggless) world:

This is what Ener-G Egg Replacer was made for.

Seriously. It’s ass in everything else, ever, but it makes for such a kick ass egg wash for breading stuff to be fried. Everything comes out really crispy and wonderful. Ener-G, I’ll never doubt you again, baby. Take me back? I can change!

I ended up making a ton because my “tub” of tofu is a full pound, so I doubled up on the sauce (which was a little too much because I had forgotten to add broccoli or other veggies to the mix) and added to the wash and cornstarch breading as needed. I don’t quite know how I feel about the taste of the sauce, as it doesn’t quite taste like sweet and sour to me but that may be a regional difference. The sauce tasted more to me like an unfinished orange sauce – if you add orange zest and some sesame oil to it, I think it would be spot on.
