Method
Step 1
Take one block of extra firm tofu and place it between two paper towels on a plate. Then place a heavy pan on it so all the water is removed. Discard paper towels and cut your tofu into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients for the tofu in a bowl and add the cut tofu. Toss the tofu around until evenly coated in seasoning and flour. Dry fry it on a pan set to medium eat until each side is golden brown. While you do this prepare the sauce.
Step 3
Add the ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce, except for the red pepper strips and pineapple, into a pot and cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat. Stir until it begins to thicken. Add water to thin out as desired. Add pineapple and pepper and cook for another 5 mins over low heat. Add tofu to coat. Serve with noodles or rice.
