Sweet and Sour Tofu

Sweet and sour tofu is a delicious and healthy Chinese dish, usually served as a side dish or main. It’s made with marinated tofu that’s stir-fried with a sweet and sour sauce. The tofu is usually lightly battered and fried until it’s golden and crunchy. The sauce is a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and chili peppers, giving it a sweet, sour and spicy flavor. It’s a great way to enjoy tofu and can be served with steamed white rice or noodles.
