1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic powder

500 g firm tofu, dried and cut into cubes

2 tsp water

1 tsp cornflour

3 Tbsp unsweetened pineapple juice

2 tsp soy sauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder and tofu together. Spread tofu out on the prepared tray. Bake for 15 minutes, shaking after five minutes.

Meanwhile, make sweet and sour sauce. In a small bowl, mix water and cornflour together to make a smooth paste.
