Tofu With Pineapple Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 block tofu, drained and cut into small cubes
• 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained (reserve 1 tbsp of syrup)
• 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp dry sherry
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• Oil for stir-frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu:

   • Cut the drained tofu into small cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. Prepare the Pineapple Marinade:

   • Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 1 tablespoon of the syrup. Dissolve cornflour in this reserved syrup.

3. Marinate the Tofu:

   • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce and dry sherry. Add the tofu cubes to this mixture and let it marinate for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to absorb.

4. Stir-Fry the Tofu:

   • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated tofu cubes until they are lightly browned and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove the tofu from the wok and set aside.

5. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry the chopped green onion, bean sprouts, and pineapple chunks for about 1 minute, just until they are heated through and slightly tender.

6. Combine and Cook:

   • Add the cooked tofu back into the wok with the vegetables and pineapple. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the Tofu With Pineapple immediately, accompanied by boiled rice or your preferred side dish.
