Ingredients

  • 500g extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbs light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 30g cornflour
  • 1 pineapple chunks in juice, ruit and juice separated
  • 30g Tomato Ketchup
  • 50ml Rice Vinegar
  • 330ml Fanta Zero Orange
  • 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 Red onion, quartered, then each quarter halved and separated into individual petals
  • 2 Mixed peppers, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Microwave jasmine rice
  • 2 salad onion, thinly sliced, to serve (optional)

Method

Step 1

In a large bowl, toss together the cubed tofu with 1 tbsp soy sauce, the garlic powder and a generous pinch of salt and coarse ground black pepper, then sprinkle over 30g cornflour and toss gently to coat evenly. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple juice from the tin, tomato ketchup, rice vinegar, Fanta and the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce. Whisk until well combined then set aside.

Step 3

In a large pan or frying pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil, then add the onions, peppers and pineapple and fry over a medium heat for 10-15 mins or until slightly softened, stirring regularly to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Once the vegetables have softened, add the reserved sauce and bring up to a boil.

Step 5

Add in the reserved cornflour mixture and simmer over a medium heat for 10 mins or until thick and shiny. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tbsp oil in another large pan until very hot. Carefully fry the tofu in a single layer, turning regularly, until golden brown and crisp all over. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once fried to your crunchiest satisfaction, transfer the tofu to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Transfer the tofu to the pan with the sauce, add the sesame oil and stir gently to combine everything. Serve hot with a side of jasmine rice, cooked according to the packet instructions, and sprinkled with chopped spring onion.
