Sweet Sour Tofu Recipes

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the tofu and fry for 5 mins, turning regularly, until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan over a high heat. Fry the onion, pepper and garlic for 5-6 mins, or until the veg begins to soften. Add the pineapple, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and 50ml water, and simmer for 1 min, or until slightly reduced. Stir the tofu back into the pan.
• Cook the basmati rice following pack instructions. Serve the tofu in bowls with the rice and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Steps:

• 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.
• Slice tofu into chunky, bite-sized pieces.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute tofu until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
• 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.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups of the water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, reduce the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Remove excess water from the tofu, and then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the pineapple juice, lemon juice, ketchup, maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, arrowroot, and ginger together.
• In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, green beans, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini and stir-fry until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the pineapple juice mixture, tofu and pineapple. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the veggies and sauce over the brown rice and serve.
