Instructions
- Firstly, mix all the ingredients for sweet and sour sauce together.
- Cut firm tofu into small cubes. Place around 1/2 cup of oil in a small pan. Place the tofu cubes in. Start the fire and fry them ( by two batches if necessary). During the process, stir them from time to time so they can be heated evenly. Transfer out when they are all golden brown.
- Remove extra oil and leave only around 1 tablespoon in the pan, fry garlic, scallion white and ginger over slow fire until aromatic. Pour the sweet and sour sauce mix in, heat to boil.
- Return the tofu cubes and continue heating over slow fire until the sauce is well-thickened and sticky to the tofu cubes.
- Garlic some spring onions and serve with steamed rice.
