Sweet and Sour Baked Tofu served

Sweet and Sour Baked Tofu

Sweet and sour tofu is a classic Asian dish, a vegan alternative to the traditional sweet and sour chicken. Crispy baked tofu and fresh vegetables are in perfect harmony with the homemade sweet and sour sauce, in which the natural sweetness of pineapple and the sour taste of rice vinegar balance each other. This dish is an ideal choice for a light yet tasty and nutritious main course. Serve it on its own, with rice or even pasta to truly bring out the Asian flavors.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the tofu into small cubes and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

    2

    In a bowl, toss the tofu with soy sauce, then sprinkle with cornstarch, ensuring it's evenly coated.

    3

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides. Once cooked, set aside.

    4

    Chop the spring onions, bell pepper, carrot, and pineapple. In another skillet, sauté them for 3-4 minutes.

    5

    Prepare the sweet and sour sauce: in a small saucepan, combine the tomato paste, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water. Heat and stir until the sauce slightly thickens.

    6

    Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the vegetables, then add the fried tofu. Toss to combine and allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh spring onions. Serve immediately with freshly cooked rice or on its own.
