Sweet And Sour Tofu Recipe

This is how to make tofu taste good – toss crispy tofu cubes with bell peppers in a sweet and sour sauce and serve with a side of steamed white rice. This is an easy sweet and sour vegan tofu recipe that is way better than Chinese takeout! Plus, it’s ready in just 20 minutes!

These past three weeks flew by so quickly, it always seems to go by faster when I’m in Japan.

This time Ben and I took my mother to Okinawa for a little R&R. We picked a quiet resort by the beach because we wanted to unplug from everything and forget about work and responsibilities. The weather was heavenly, the water as clear as can be and the food, simply exquisite! We were there for just a few days but it was long enough for all of us to fall in love with Okinawa.
