    1. Press the tofu using a tofu press, or place between two clean tea towels. Lay it on a plate and put a weight on top | Leave for half an hour

    1. Peel and finely slice the red onion, ginger and garlic | Cut the pepper in half and cut out the stem and seeds | Chop the pepper into 2cm chunks

    1. Put the pineapple juice, rice vinegar, ketchup and sugar in the small saucepan and stir | Increase the heat to medium- high and let it bubble away until you have a syrupy sauce

    1. Put the garlic powder and the onion powder into a large bowl with the cornflour and mix | Cut the drained tofu into 1cm chunks and add them to the bowl | Toss them in the cornflour mix until they’re well covered

    1. Add the tofu chunks into a pan and fry until they have started to brown and formed a crispy coating

    1. Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in the second frying pan | Add the onion slices and stir until translucent | Add the green pepper, chili flakes, salt, garlic and ginger and continue to cook for another 3–5 minutes| Drain the pineapple and add to the pan | Tip the tofu into the pan and pour over the sweet and sour sauce and fold it around the vegetables so that everything is well covered and warmed through

    Totally gonna try this! Looks incredible

  3. Looks delicious, though we are not fan of tofu.

    But …. Different question …

    We are fan of yakiniku sauce, but can’t really find anything like it here(the Netherlands). Any good recipes with that maybe?
