Instructions

Step 1

Heat some oil along with the garlic and ginger in a saucepan on medium heat and sauté for a minute before adding the sugar, vinegar, tomato purée and tamarind paste. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and then add in the flour and water as well as the pineapple juice from the tin. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a wok on medium heat and fry the tofu for 5-10 minutes, turning every minute until it is golden and crispy before removing to a separate bowl.

Step 3

Heat some more oil in the wok and stir fry the onions and peppers for 2-3 minutes before adding the corn, peas and pineapple. Fry for a few more minutes until everything is tender.

Step 4

Add the tofu back into the wok and then pour over the sauce. Bring everything to the boil whilst mixing and then simmer for 1-2 minutes. Serve garnished with sesame seeds.
