Sweet and Sour Tofu

Ingredients:

  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (to thicken)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes and coat them with cornstarch to give them a nice crispy texture when cooked.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce to thicken it and mix well.
  5. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Add the crispy tofu back into the skillet and gently toss everything together to coat it in the sauce.
  6. Let it cook for a few more minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and everything to heat through. Serve hot, and enjoy this colorful and flavorful Sweet and Sour Tofu dish!

This Sweet and Sour Tofu is perfect served over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside steamed vegetables. Enjoy your cooking and savor the delightful flavors!
