Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 14 ounces medium firm tofu
  • 1 red bell pepper (cored and chopped into bite size pieces)
  • 1 green bell pepper (cored and chopped into bite size pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • cornstarch for dusting
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water

Instruction

  • Whisk all the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce (until sugar has dissolved) in a bowl and set aside.
  • Drain tofu and wrap in paper towel or tea towel to remove excess water. Repeat 3 to 4 times until the tofu is drier. Slice tofu into 1 inch cubes.
  • Dust tofu with potato starch until all sides are well coated.
  • In a large pan over high heat, add oil and tofu and fry until all sides are slightly golden (about 7 minutes). Transfer tofu to a plate and set aside.
  • Add red and green bell pepper to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, until peppers have softened but still yield a crunch.
  • Return tofu to the pan, add sauce and stir until tofu and bell peppers are coated.
  • Turn the heat off, transfer to a plate and serve.
