  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic, small
  • 3 slices pineapple, canned
  • 5 tbsp pineapple juice, from the can
  • 5 tbsp rice vinegar, alternatively apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 heaped tsp cornstarch

Deep-Fried Tofu

  • 300 g tofu
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 5 tbsp flour, plus a little extra
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 110 ml water, cold
  • Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Zubereitung

  • Roughly dice the tofu and marinate in the soy sauce. Turn it every now and then.
  • Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and water into a relatively viscous dough and allow to sit.
  • In the meantime, prepare the other ingredients: clean or peel the carrots and cut into thin strips. Cut the bell pepper, pineapple and onion into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the garlic.
  • Mix the ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, pineapple juice and water to a smooth sauce. Add the pineapple pieces.
  • Flour the tofu cubes well on all sides, then pull them through the batter and deep-fry them in a saucepan with hot oil for a few minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on some paper towel or a cloth.
  • Heat a pan with a dash of vegetable oil over medium to high temperature. Fry the garlic, onion, bell pepper and carrot for about 1 minute. Then add the sauce, bring to the boil briefly and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Fold in the deep-fried tofu. Serve with rice.
