Sweet and Sour Tofu Recipe (Vegan)

Just soooooo sweet. And we put only half the sugar in that was requested in the recipe. The sweetness cancelled out any other flavour unfortunately.

So good! Didn’t have cornstarch so just subbed for plain flour - tofu obviously wasn’t as crispy as it could’ve been but I don’t mind! Also didn’t have pineapple but the sauce was perfectly sweet without. Was only cooking for myself so eyeballed literally all of the ingredients but turned out amazing and will definitely make again.

I use less sugar

I wasn’t keen on this - it was too sweet. I felt like Buddy the Elf pouring syrup all over my dinner.

The sauce is great! However, I recommend cutting the tofu into small 1 cm cubes. Also, be careful, the cornstarch makes the tofu burn pretty easily.

Pretty simple version of sweet and sour that was very tasty. Had to use tinned pineapple, but don’t think it suffered much for it. Used the juice from the tin unread of water for the sauce.Added a drop a cornflour paste to thicken up Ate with egg fried rice. Forgot to add sesame seeds because I was hungry and couldn’t wait to start

Delicious! I added cabbage to ours. I subbed 1/4 cup agave nectar instead of sugar and used mandarin oranges instead of the pineapple (because that's what I had on hand). Kid approved! This will be a regular at our house. I would like to try baking the tofu or possibly air frying it next time to cut back on the oil used for frying.

Quick, easy and yummy!

Used air fryer and half the sugar. Very easy and delicious

Very delicious! I added cornstarch to the sauce to make it thicker, and a drizzle of sesame oil at the end for added flavor. Next time I'll use less sugar than the recipe calls for (the ketchup already adds enough extra sweetness) and add a few dried chile de arbol because I love them 😋🌶️ . Very easy dinner and i will make again!

I think I used 1/4 cup of sugar instead of 1/2. Made this for a potluck and people liked it! Note to self: don't mix the tofu seasonings together before adding the tofu because then it just makes clumps

Add way less sugar than it says. A bit more pineapple for that extra tang. Dice your peppers tiny.

Was really nice! Used a bit more cornflour than in the recipe, it made the tofu really crispy (which I then chucked in the air fryer for extra crunch!) Had it with the pineapple fried rice, lush!

Was really good! I didn’t have cornstarch, so I tried using ground corn flakes, did not stick to the tofu to well, fried it anyway, and the dish still tasting amazing.

We really enjoyed this. Subbed the ketchup for sweet chili like some others. I also added corn starch slurry to the sauce bc it wasn't really thickening up.

needed this.

Very good, but when I first made it I found it a bit too sweet and had too little water in the sauce, so I added the pineapple juice and less sugar, and found it was even better.

Really enjoyed the flavors in this dish. Not complicated and cooked up nicely. Tore the tofu into the 1” cubes as recommended and did notice the sauce and cornstarch coating the tofu better. Made an adjustment to the recipe: - Subbed the 2/3c granulated sugar for 1/3 c honey. -Reduced the sauce down to make it thicker -If you want a kick, I recommend adding 1 tbsp of chili paste. Overall a nice flavorful dish that I will make again.

I roughly halved this recipe as I'm only cooking for myself. This was delicious and very simple to make. I found it made 2 small portions. I don't think double would make 4 more like 3 portions. You definitely need to serve it with a side. I used canned pineapple (student budget 😅) and I didn't have any garlic powder (student kitchen 😅) so I used chopped garlic instead. It still tasted fantastic! (Enjoy the not very aesthetic photo of my food)

Was very thing not much sauce and had hardly any flavour. The tofu came out very nice .

Pretty easy and tasted good. I added thai sweet chilli sauce to replace half the ketchup for a bit more depth.

Okay

This was so great and my first go at properly pressing and cooking tofu. I think next time I will add more soy sauce for the tofu to soak up after pressing and before coating in cornflour. Amazing recipe though thank you so much.

Made it without the pineapple

This was amazing! Pretty simple to make.. I used half the amount of sugar and still found it quite sweet. I will definitely be making this again.

Perfection!! I loved it

Pretty tasty!

I cut the sugar in half and loved the tangy flavor!

Never had tofu before and I was scared to try it. BUT this recipe was so delicious! I am not obsessed with eating more tofu 😍

This was delicious! I followed the recipe with no changes and it was perfect. This was actually my first time making tofu and it has a great texture. The only thing I may consider tweaking is crushing the pineapple instead of cutting into cubes. Like the reviewer below me, the pineapple wouldn't brown but it's not necessary.

Modifications to make this richer with some spice (close to Panda Express style): 1. Cook 2 cups of white rice to serve with. 2. Use extra firm tofu. Cut into 1cm cubes after pressing. 3. Use 4 teaspoons of soy sauce to coat tofu originally. 4. Replace corn starch with 1/2 cup flour. Toss via slowly mixing in bowl. While tofu is frying, add all other flour mix from bowl and stir. 5. Stir fry one onion, one green pepper, one 20oz can chunk pineapple (half drained, half juice added in skillet), 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (fave food), and one 5oz can bamboo shoots. Takes forever to get the pineapple to brown. We sauteed at med-high for like 12 minutes before deciding it was close enough. 6. Multiply the sweet and sour sauce by 1.5. Also add 1/2 tsp of red chili flakes. Use stevia sugar instead of normal sugar
