Instruction

  • Prepare sweet and sour sauce following the link provided and keep it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine tofu, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, salt and black pepper. Toss it gently without breaking tofu and keep it aside. (Make sure each tofu piece is well coated).
  • Heat sesame oil in a nonstick pan or a wok and place each tofu piece. Let it cook until its golden at the bottom and gently flip over all the pieces with a flat spatula making sure that they don’t break. Let it cook again until golden from the bottom. Then, keep flipping all the pieces to other sides until its golden from all sides. This will make them crisp and firm.
  • Then, toss in onions, and bell peppers and mix gently.
  • Fold in prepared sweet and sour sauce along with vegetable broth, 2 tbsp. vinegar. Mix nicely and let it cook for 2-3 minutes at medium flame. Do a taste testing and adjust salt. Turn it off and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot with quinoa/rice.
