An easy and zingy sweet and sour stir-fry. If you’re not sure if you like tofu, try this!
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
- 2 green bell peppers, cut into strips
- 1 small red onion, sliced into thin rings
- 1 ½ cups cooked white rice
Directions
Step 1
Place tofu between 2 plates. Place a weight on the top plate to press water out of tofu. Let sit, draining off water occasionally, 1 to 2 hours.
Step 2
Slice tofu into chunky, bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute tofu until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 4
Whisk pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, tamari, and salt together in the same pan. Stir constantly over medium heat until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion; reduce heat to low. Cook until onion and peppers are slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add tofu and heat through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve over cooked rice.
Cook’s Note:
You can use cooked brown rice. Use any color of bell peppers that you prefer.
