Ingredients

1 block tofu firm
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoon Aquafaba
⅓ cup 45 g flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 bell peppers
1 cup of pineapple chunks 200g , I like to take fresh pineapple

Sweet sour sauce

6 tablespoons vinegar
6 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoon pineapple juice or date paste
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Press the tofu. Then dice it in about 1 cm thick
Put the cornstarch in a bowl with a lid. Add the tofu and shake with the lid closed. So that all parts of the Tofu are covered with cornflour, but should not be thick just thin covered
Now mix the flour (I take whole wheat flour) with the baking powder neatly
First dip the tofu into the aquafaba and then into the flour mixture. And spread on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Now bake for approx. 10 min at 180 ° C (350°F), until the flour is nice and firm on the outside, could take a little longer
For the sauce mix all ingredients
Dice the peppers and sauté with the pineapple pieces in a pan and deglaze with the sauce. Now add the baked tofu, this will absorb the sauce nicely and become nicely sticky as in the photo.
We eat rice with it.
