Ingredients

2 14-ounce blocks tofu, drained and pressed*
8 ounces pineapple juice
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
6 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon tapioca or corn starch

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Place tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, tomato paste, soy sauce, garlic, and water. Whisk until smooth.
To a small bowl, add starch and 1 tablespoon cold water. Whisk to form a starch slurry. Pour into saucepan. Whisk to combine all ingredients.
When sauce begins to bubble, cover and reduce heat to low; cook for 15-20 minutes, until sauce has thickened.
Add baked tofu to sauce. Toss to coat.

Notes

*Use a tofu press, or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place in the sink with a heavy object on top. Press for 10-15 minutes.
