Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 block extra firm tofu (must be firm or extra firm, drained and cut into bite sized cubes)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (possibly more)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or other oil good for frying)
  • 1 large red pepper (seeded and cut into chunks (bite size))
  • 1 large orange pepper (seeded and cut into chunks (bite size))
  • 1 yellow onion (cut into chunks (bite size))
  • 3 green onions (chopped)
  • 2 bags Success® Whole Grain Brown Rice (cooked and kept warm)
  • 2 8 oz cans of pineapple chunks (packed in juice, not syrup, drained and juice set aside)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more or less depending on heat tolerance)
  • 2/3 cup sugar (I used Stevia)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup reserved pinapple juice
  • 2 TBS sweet red chili sauce (find this in the international aisle)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 TBS cold water
  • 3 TBS corn starch

Instruction

  • 1. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Place cornstarch in a separate shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl. Toss 5-6 tofu pieces at a time, in the flour to coat, then into the eggs, then into the cornstarch to coat again. Repeat with all tofu pieces.
  • 2. Heat vegetable oil in a high sided pan (I like using a pasta pot to prevent grease splatter), and add tofu pieces. You will probably have to do 2-3 batches. Cook 2-3 minutes on first side (or until lightly browned), and then flip over and cook 1-2 minutes on other side. Remove and set on a paper towel lined plate. Continue until all tofu pieces are cooked.
  • 3. Wipe out the pot you used to cook the tofu, and then over medium heat add peppers, onion and pineapple. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, or until onions start to soften.
  • 4. While that is cooking you can make the sauce. In a sauce pot combine garlic, red pepper flakes, sugar, water, sweet chili sauce, pineapple juice and salt. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. In a small bowl stir together the cold water and corn starch. When sauce comes to a boil, add the corn starch mixture to the sauce. Stir constantly until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low.
  • 5. In the pot with the vegetables, add the tofu and the sauce, mixing gently to coat. Serve over Success® Whole Grain Brown Rice and top with green onions.
