Sweet and Sour Tofu



Prep Time: 10 minutes (1 day if you haven't pre-prepared the tofu)
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 block firm tofu, frozen and then thawed out (important to get the right texture!)
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh works best)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes






Instructions:
  1. Press the water out of the tofu, then cut into 1 inch cubes
  2. Toss tofu in whole wheat flour til the pieces are covered in a thin coating
  3. Mix the lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl
  4. In frying pan, warm the oil
  5. Once the oil is warmed, place the tofu in the bowl and brown
  6. Once browned, add the sauce and let it cook down so that the tofu is thickly coated, roughly 5-10 minutes
