Sweet and Sour Tofu






I was craving for some Chinese the other day so I decided to make this awesome dish.

 I remember how good was my ( Sweet and Sour Chicken ) too especially the sauce
 So, I made it with a Tofu version. 
It turned out really good!

The only difference I did was I added Bread crumbs and it was such a good idea.
It made the tofu crunchy on the outside and tender in the inside.
I definitely recommend this recipe to all vegetarian's/vegan's out there!
Let me know what you guys think!



Sweet and Sour Tofu

For the Tofu: 

  • 1 package extra firm tofu

Optional:

  • Green bell peppers, cut in bite sizes
  • Red bell pepper cut in bite sizes.

Directions:
