Tofu should not taste bland if it is properly cooked and seasoned. This sweet and sour tofu (\u7cd6\u918b\u8c46\u8150)<\/strong> will surely make your mouth foaming uncontrollably!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tofu is pan-fried, then doused in a sweet and sour sauce, with the intermingling of flavors from ketchup, vinegar, and soy sauce. It is then stir-fried with crisp and crunchy vegetables to deliver a well-balanced texture and flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is the spin-off from sweet and sour pork and is a vegetarian dish with universal appeal to everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my version of the sweet and sour tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet and sour tofu – the step-by-step guide <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s kick things off with step one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cut the tofu into bite-size cubes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cut the tofu into bite-size, about two cm cubes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use firm tofu to avoid breaking in the pan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Firm tofu<\/strong> is less likely to break and much easier to manage than soft tofu. I can get extra firm tofu (labeled as pressed tofu<\/strong>) at the supermarket, which is reasonably firm to handle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not able to get the pressed tofu, you can press it yourself at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
