Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
• 12 oz Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1.5 cups Fresh pineapple, diced
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 2 Green onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the same skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the tofu.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and sauté the red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

Add the diced pineapple and sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Return the tofu and shrimp to the skillet, then pour the soy sauce mixture over the ingredients. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and all ingredients are heated through.

Step 10

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle with chopped green onion as garnish before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a standalone dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
