  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions

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

  4. Flip the tofu and cook for another 3 minutes before removing it from the pan.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and onion for about 5 minutes until caramelized.
  6. Add minced garlic and ginger; stir constantly for about 30 seconds.
  7. Toss in pineapple chunks and let them caramelize for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl; pour over the skillet contents along with the crispy tofu. Stir gently for two minutes until everything is well-coated.
