Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), chopped
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 1/2 cup onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Sweet and Sour Sauce

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Instructions

1. Start by cutting the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Toss the tofu in cornstarch until well coated.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the remaining oil, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the pineapple chunks and cooked tofu back into the pan, mixing well.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the sweet and sour sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce over the tofu and veggies. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
6. Bring to a simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and thick.
