Steps:
- Add all of the sauce ingredient to a bowl and whisk them together. Set aside.
- Try to drain and press the tofu in advance. Use a cotton tea towel to pat it dry as best as you can. Slice it lengthwise and pat dry again. Continue cutting the tofu into small cubes and pat them dry some more. If prepping tofu in advance you can place it in the fridge at this point and allow to air dry overnight. This step will really help your tofu get extra crispy.
- Just before cooking dust the tofu cubes with the tapioca and use your hands to toss it well to coat all over.
- Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium flame and add a drop of olive oil, enough to coat the entire bottom. Start adding the tofu cubes and pan sear on all sides until golden. Transfer to a bowl until needed. Make sure to work in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan.
- After pressing the tofu and tossing it in the tapioca place it on a parchment lined baking sheet or air fryer basket. Air fry between 375" and 400"F for 14 minutes flipping it half way. (If the tofu is well pressed the 375" temperature is perfect, otherwise air fry at 400"F). Add it to the pan with the sauce and vegetables and cook everything together until the sauce starts to thicken and tofu is nicely coated all over. Enjoy!
- Follow the exact recipe above and bake the tofu at 400"F on a parchment lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes (or until golden) tossing it half way. Meanwhile prepare the sauce and toss everything together.
- Cut the bell peppers and scallions into one inch pieces, discard the core from the peppers.
- Add the peppers and scallions to the skillet together with a drizzle of oil (or a splash of water) and pinch of sea salt. Stir fry a few minutes until the peppers just begin to soften.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the peppers and bring to a simmer. Add the tofu and give it a good stir. Cook everything together until the sauce starts to thicken and tofu is nicely coated all over.
- Serve hot over a bed of rice or tossed with soba or ramen noodles.

- In a medium bowl, add the cubed tofu, sprinkle the salt over and toss. Then, add the cornstarch and stir gently to coat each of the pieces. Set aside.
- Warm a large pan, then add the sesame oil (if using) and let it warm up a bit without smoking (you can also avoid the use of oil by using a non-stick pan). Then, transfer the tofu and cook on medium-high heat until crispy and browned while flipping the pieces once in a while. This might take about 15-20 minutes.
- While the tofu is roasting, then make the sauce: whisk the corn starch (1 tbsp) with the water until dissolved. Then, add the rest of the sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth and combined. Set aside.
- When the tofu is done cooking, add the sauce mixture to the pan over the tofu and stir to combine. Keep cooking on medium-high heat while stirring often until the sauce is bubbly and has thickened up (should take only 3 minutes or so).

- Cut the tofu into bite-size cubes. Cut the tofu into bite-size, about two cm cubes. Use firm tofu to avoid breaking in the pan. Firm tofu is less likely to break and much easier to manage than soft tofu.
- Get ready the vegetables for stir-frying. The sweet and sour tofu recipe is improvised from the sweet and sour pork, which is widely popular among the Chinese.
- Prepare the sweet and sour sauce for the tofu. There are three principal components- sugar for the sweetness, rice vinegar (wine vinegar or black vinegar) for the sourness, and light soy sauce for the savory flavor.
- Brown the tofu on both sides. The chef in the restaurant usually prefers to deep-fry the pork or tofu because it takes less time in a busy restaurant.
- Stir-fry the vegetables. Now it comes to the final step – stir-frying. Here are the steps: Saute the minced garlic and ginger until aromatic over medium heat.
