Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Whisk all the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce (until sugar has dissolved) in a bowl and set aside.
- Wrap the entire tofu block in paper towels or a tea towel to remove excess water. Repeat 3 to 4 times until the tofu is drier (should not be pooling water on your cutting board). 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 and transfer to a plate.
