Air Fried Crispy Tofu in Sweet and Sour Sauce

Who doesn't like sweet and sour and spicy, so why not to make this healthy dish in using Tofu in sweet and sour sauce, it has perfect amount of sweetness from maple syrup and tartness from Pineapple juice. If you don't have pineapple juice you can use lime juice too but caramelized pineapple juice gives nice brown color to the dish. To make this sauce, its just take 2 minutes and you can add it to any protein or lots of vegetable and make it, I have used tofu which I Air fried it, you can do pan fried, deep fried, what ever works with you. Take your favorite vegetables along with  it and enjoy it with plain rice. You can adjust the quantities of the sauce as per your liking. 



Ingredients for the sauce

1 cup canned pineapple juice
3/4 cup light brown sugar or maple syrup
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp. soy  sauce or tamari sauce
corn starch slurry - 1 and half tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp. of water

Method :

Place all the ingredients except the cornstarch slurry in a pan and bring it to boil. 

Once its boiled add in slurry and cook till its thickens. 

Stir constantly to mix it. 

If you are using later, put it in air tight glass container and keep it in refrigerator, but since we are using it in this recipe I have kept it on side. 

Ingredients :

1 block of pressed tofu, cut it in triangles
Few florets of broccoli
5 Portobello baby mushrooms sliced in match sticks
1 red onion sliced in match sticks
half stick celery sliced
one carrot sliced
4 cloves of garlic sliced
1 inch of ginger finely sliced
2 tbsp. oil

Method : 

Put the aluminum foil on air fried plate, put the triangle tofu and spray it with oil.

Fry it on 350 for 15 minutes turning in between. 

You can pan fry it too or baked it in oven too.

I did air fried half and half shallow fry it. 

Once tofu is done, take it out.

heat the pan , add oil in it. 

when its hot, add ginger and garlic and cook it till its raw smell goes away , for 2 minutes on low to medium flame, make sure you don't burn the garlic.

Add your vegetables and cook it on high flame for 2 minutes. 

Add two to three tbsp. of sauce in it and mix it. 

Add more or less as per your liking. 

mix it nicely and cook it for 1 minute and done. 

Serve it hot with plain rice, I had with side of red curry too. 

You can sprinkle chopped green onions on top too.
