1
Press the block of tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. You can do this using a tofu press or by wrapping the tofu in a towel and placing a heavy object on top.
HAWAIIAN GARLIC SAUCE
2
While the tofu is being pressed, prepare the Hawaiian garlic sauce. Combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, agave syrup, water, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger in a small saucepan.
3
Heat the mixture on low heat bringing it to a simmer.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch with a little water until it dissolves. Then add the mixture into the sauce.
5
Continue to simmer the sauce for another minute or until it thickens. Mix in the sesame oil.
TOFU AND PEPPERS
6
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into cubes.
7
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, corn starch, and salt.
8
Coat the tofu and jalapeno slices in the flour mixture separately.
9
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, shake off the excess flour from the tofu and jalapeno, then fry them until brown and crispy. This should take a few minutes per side.
FINAL STEPS
10
Remove the crispy tofu and jalapenos from the skillet. Toss them in the warm Hawaiian garlic sauce just before serving.
