🌿 FULL RECIPE

Sticky Pineapple Stir-fry 

INGREDIENTS

Stir fry 

1 large pineapple

1 14 oz block extra-firm tofu or tempeh

1 /2 Tbsp cornstarch 

4 cups cooked rice, for serving

sesame seeds, for garnish

Sauce 

1 tablespoon soy sauce

½ cup vegetable stock

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 clove garlic, minced 

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon miso paste

1/2 Tbsp cornstarch 

YIELD: 4

PREP TIME; 15 minutes 

TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes 

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare tofu, place a few folded paper towels on a flat surface. Place tofu on the towels. Cover with towels and weigh down by placing a plate with a few cans on top.  Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to extract water.

While the tofu is pressing,use a sharp knife to carefully cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Using the knife tip, cut around the inside edge of the pineapple, being careful not to cut through the skin. Slice down and across the pineapple flesh, then scoop out the pineapple cubes with a spoon. Discard the core and set the rest aside.

In a small bowl combine hoisin and soy sauce, vegetable stock, oil, brown sugar, garlic paste and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved, and set aside.

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat a large skillet over a medium flame. Once hot, Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Use a spatula to turn the cubes to an uncooked side, and cook until golden brown again. Continue this process until brown and crispy on all sides, then remove the crispy tofu to a clean plate.

Add the pineapple to the hot skillet and briefly stir fry until lightly browned on the edges. Lower the heat to medium-low.

Give the bowl of sauce a good stir, then pour it into the skillet with the pineapple. Stir and cook until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken, about 2 minutes. Once thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the cooked tofu cubes.

Serve in the empty pineapple halves, along with rice and sesame seeds.
