Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu between clean kitchen towels for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  4. Flip the tofu and cook until crispy all around before removing it from the skillet.
  5. In the same skillet, add sliced peppers and onion; cook for about five minutes until caramelized.
  6. Stir in minced garlic and ginger for about thirty seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add pineapple chunks and let caramelize for another two to three minutes.
  8. Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl; pour over vegetable mixture along with the crispy tofu. Stir gently for an additional two minutes until glossy.
