Ingredients

14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
8 small tortillas
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Sliced avocado for topping (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
Cook the Tofu: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup. Pour the sauce over the cooked tofu and stir to coat. Add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the sweet and sour tofu, sliced bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and green onions.
Serve: Top with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado if desired. Enjoy your Sweet and Sour Tofu Tacos warm.
