1
Press tofu under a heavy object, wrapped in a towel for 30 minutes and then cube it.
SAUCE PREPARATION
2
Begin the recipe with the sauce. Combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, agave syrup, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan.
3
Cook on low heat till it begins to simmer. In a different bowl, mix corn starch and water until corn starch completely dissolves in water.
4
Add the corn starch solution to the sauce while stirring continuously to prevent any lumps. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few more minutes until it noticeably thickens.
TOFU AND JALAPENO PREPARATION
5
Move on to tofu and jalapeno preparation while the sauce simmers. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, and salt. Toss the tofu cubes and finely sliced jalapeno in the mixture.
6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Distribute the tofu and jalapenos evenly on the baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil.
7
Roast in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, flipping once until the tofu is golden and crispy.
FINAL PREPARATION
8
When the tofu and jalapenos are ready, toss them into the sauce along with pineapple chunks. If needed, heat the sauce over low heat.
9
Serve the Tropical Hawaiian Tofu Stir-Fry right away, with a side of steamed rice, if desired.
