Method
Watch Tutorial VideoAdd all the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan except for the cornflour + water mixture. Place the pan over a low heat & whisk together well. Leave the sauce to come to a simmer.
Meanwhile for the tofu, pre heat a non stick frying pan over a medium heat with a little sesame oil.
Toss the tofu cubes with the cornflour in a mixing bowl then place them into the pan.
Stir fry the tofu along with the garlic, spring onion & chilli. When tofu is golden add the pineapple cubes & soy sauce.
Whisk in the cornflour + water mixture to the sauce to thicken it up.
Add a couple of spoonfuls of sauce to the tofu to glaze it up before serving the sweet & sour tofu on a bed of rice.
I like to serve the remaining sauce on the side.
Garnish with a few chopped spring onions & greens of your choice.
