A recipe from the Good Food collection.
Ingredients
250 g (9 oz) firm tofu, cut into cubes
5 cm (2 inch) fresh ginger, grated
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
oil, for cooking
2 large onions, cut into thin wedges
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
250 g (9 oz) fresh pineapple, cut into bitesized pieces
1 tablespoon orange juice
Method
Step 1
Put the tofu, ginger, orange zest and some freshly ground black pepper in a non-metallic bowl. Stir, cover and refrigerate.
Step 2
Heat the wok until very hot, add 1½ tablespoons of the oil and swirl it around to coat the side. Stir-fry the onion, garlic and brown sugar over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the onion is soft and golden. Stir in the vinegar and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the wok.
Step 3
Reheat the wok and add the pineapple and orange juice. Stir-fry for 3 minutes over high heat, or until the pineapple is just soft and golden. Stir in the onion mixture, remove from the wok, cover and set aside.
Step 4
Reheat the wok until very hot and add 1½ tablespoons of the oil. Stir-fry the tofu in two batches, tossing regularly until it is lightly crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Return the tofu and the pineapple mixture to the wok, and toss to heat through. Season well and serve.
