Tofu should not taste bland if it is properly cooked and seasoned. This sweet and sour tofu will surely make your mouth foaming uncontrollably!
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 the crisp and crunchy vegetables to deliver a well-balanced texture and flavor.
This recipe is the spin-off from the sweet and sour pork and is a vegetarian dish with universal appeal to everyone.
