Sweet and sour tofu with vegetables | tofu stir fry – Recipe with step-by-step pictures

I rarely use tofu in cooking, and even if I do, I add it instead of paneer in gravies. Though I know it is a very good source of protein, I somehow didn’t like to attempt it in any other form. When I gave the Singapore recipes for Aval Kitchen in Sept 2014, this sweet and sour tofu was one among them. I know a few recipes with tofu that they deep fry too. When i tried this sweet and sour tofu, i liked it very much. I like the addition of pineapple in this. So I wanted to share the recipe here, too. This can be had as an evening snack or can be served with vegetable fried rice. This dish is a mix of sweet and sourness and not being a lover of local Singapore veg food, personally i liked this very much.

Notes

1. You can add bean sprouts and bok choy to this while adding the veggies.

2. Adjust the sweetness and sourness according to your taste buds. I have given the measurements according to my own taste.

3. If you do not like the pineapple chunks, you can grind them and add them to the corn flour mixture. This will give the taste, but you won't get to bite the pineapple.
