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.

- Start by making the Crispy Tofu. Press the tofu. Use either a tofu press, or wrap it in a clean dish towel and place something heavy on top of it. A cast iron skillet with some cans inside or a stack of cookbooks works well ;O) Try to press it for 30 minutes, but if you are short on time just 10 minutes will do. While the tofu is pressing, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking tray with a silicone mat or baking parchment.
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until completely smooth. It will be really foamy and an insipid kind of color but the foam disappears once it's been heated and the colour brightens up. Pour it from the blender into a pan ( a larger one than it looks like you will need because it does tend to foam up) and warm over a medium heat, stirring constantly until it is glossy and thick and darkened in color. It takes around 10 minutes. Don't leave it during this time and if it starts foaming up turn the heat down a little.
- About 15 minutes before the tofu is due to finish, warm a large sauté pan or skillet over a medium heat and add the oil or a few tablespoons of water if you prefer to cook oil-free. Add the onion and cook for about 4 minutes, moving frequently until turning translucent. Then add the bell peppers and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until just beginning to soften.

- Press your tofu using a tofu press or a chopping board and kitchen roll, ensuring any excess moisture is absorbed.
- Place the tofu pieces in a regular-sized bowl. Add the 1 tbsp of soy sauce to the tofu, and toss the two ingredients together until the tofu is fully coated.
- Add the garlic powder, black pepper, cornstarch, and sea salt to the bowl and combine them. Make sure the pieces of tofu are fully covered.
- Place a pan or a wok on the stove and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the frying oil to the pan, and once it is sizzling, place the tofu on the pan. Cook the tofu for 5-8 minutes, until it is crispy and golden brown. If you have a lot of tofu, you might want to do this in batches!
