| 1. Put rice on to cook ahead of time; it will stay warm for a while in a covered pot. | 2. Press the tofu; this helps remove the water so it browns better -- I like to put it between paper towels between two sturdy plates, then put a cast iron skillet on top and put the whole thing in the sink for 20 minutes. | 3. Mince the garlic and ginger. | 4. Cut the bell pepper into slivers and chop the onions. | 5. When the tofu is pressed, cut it into 1 inch cubes. | 6. Toss the tofu cubes with the cornstarch. | 7. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a wok or sturdy skillet. | 8. Stir-fry the tofu until it is lightly brown all over. | 9. Remove the tofu from the wok to a plate for a while. | 10. Combine hot bean paste, soy sauce, honey, rice wine, and vinegar in a bowl. | 11. Mince the green onion. | 12. Heat another Tablespoon of oil in the wok. | 13. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger until just golden, about 30 seconds. | 14. Add the onions and peppers. | 15. When the onions are translucent, add the tofu back into the wok. | 16. Stir the sauce in and cook for about a minute more to heat the tofu back through and thicken the sauce a bit. | 17. Stir in the minced green onion. | 18. Serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
