(More Sweet than Sour) Sweet and Sour Tofu

I had some left over tofu from making the kimchi mondu, so I decided to fry them up into a stir-fry with some sweet chili sauce. This recipe is actually a friend of mine's that I've adapted as my own. Its simple to make and I like it because of the festive colors.

Ingredients:

1/2 a block of tofu (drained)

1/4 of an onion, chopped

1/3 of a red, yellow and orange pepper, chopped

1 small carrot, chopped

vegetable oil

1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce

2 tsp Thai chili sauce (optional)

1/2 a small can of chopped pineapple, drained

(if you need to sweeten the sauce, add a tsp of pineapple juice)

Slice the tofu then. Cut each slice in half then cut each half diagonally. They will make triangle shapes...

Pan fry the tofu in some vegetable oil on med-high heat until they turn golden brown.

Once the tofu is golden, drain any excess oil and leave about 1/2 tbsp oil in the pan. Add the vegetables and stir fry until the vegetables become just tender.

Turn the heat down to medium. Add the Sweet Chili and chili sauce (if using). Season to taste. 

Add more chili sauce if you want more spice or add pineapple juice to mellow out the spice and add more sweetness. Add the pineapple right at the end (just before taking the stir-fry off the heat) and cook for an additional minute.

Serve immediately with rice and ENJOY!!!
