    Preparation Steps

    1

    Press the tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and pepper, then toss in cornstarch to ensure a crispy exterior when fried.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.

    3

    Wash the bell pepper, carrot, and onion. Cut them into strips or rings. Drain the pineapple chunks.

    4

    In the same skillet, stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, until they are slightly softened but still crisp-tender.

    5

    Add the pineapple chunks and sweet and sour sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    6

    Return the tofu to the skillet, and gently toss to coat it thoroughly with the sauce and vegetables.

    7

    Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley or scallions, if desired.
