We love recreating our favourite dishes from around the world, and it doesn’t get much better than the classic Chinese sweet and sour.
So when our friends at Mindful Chef asked if we wanted to try their sweet and sour sticky tofu from their new range of vegan recipe boxes, we jumped at the chance!
For those who don’t know, the guys over at Mindful Chef deliver awesome recipe boxes with all the quality pre-portioned ingredients and recipe cards you’ll need to make their recipes in under 30 minutes.
This outrageously delicious recipe has everything you want from a classic sweet and sour dish. The tofu is sticky, the sauce is tantalisingly tangy and you’ll have it ready quicker than it’ll take you to order then wait for a take-away.
So there’s no excuse.
Served alongside deliciously crispy kale and brown rice, this ticks all the boxes for a nutritious and satisfying midweek meal.

There’s a step missing, I think. When do you coat the tofu cubes with the sweet and sour sauce? After the cornflower step?
Hey Sandra! It’s in step 6. We add the sauce to the tofu, onion and pepper when it’s frying in the pan. Thanks!
This is so delicious, thanks. Quick and easy have made it several times now. I just add pineapple
Amazing! So glad you’re enjoying the recipe and love the pineapple addition!
I am not able to find red chili where I live. Is there something I can use to substitute it?
