Ingredients

Scale

Tofu:

  • 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch (for coating the tofu)

Stir-Fry:

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil for cooking

Garnish:

  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Press Tofu: Start by pressing your tofu between clean kitchen towels for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Coat Tofu: Cut tofu into cubes, coat them with cornstarch until evenly covered.
  3. Cook Tofu: Heat oil in a skillet, cook tofu until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
  4. Prepare Stir-Fry: In the same pan, cook peppers, onions, garlic, and ginger until caramelized. Add pineapple chunks.
  5. Combine: Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Pour over the stir-fry, add tofu back, and stir until glossy.

Notes

  • Don’t skip pressing the tofu—it ensures a crispy texture.
  • This dish tastes even better the next day, so feel free to make extra.
  • Fresh pineapple is recommended, but frozen works well too.
