Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
10 ounces firm tofu (275 g), cubed
6 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
4 tbsp sugar, I used brown sugar
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
6 tbsp water (90 ml)
2 tsp cornstarch

Steps:

  • Mix the soy sauce or tamari and apple cider vinegar in a bowl until well combined.
  • Incorporate the tofu cubes and let marinate for at least 5 minutes.
  • Drain the tofu and transfer 1/3 of the tofu cubes to a freezer bag with 2 tbsp of cornstarch and toss to coat. Repeat this step with all the remaining tofu and cornstarch. Add more cornstarch if needed.
  • Heat half of the oil in a skillet and when it's hot, add the tofu cubes. Cook over medium-high heat until all sides are golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Heat the other half of the oil in the skillet and when it's hot, incorporate the veggies (carrot, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion). Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown. Set aside.
  • To make the sauce just mix all the ingredients until well combined.
  • Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook until it thickens, stirring frequently.
  • Mix the tofu, veggies, and the sauce in the skillet, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve your sweet and sour tofu immediately with some sesame seeds on top (optional).
  • Keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
