I’ve really been loving some crispy tofu lately! Rabbitsandwolves is one of my favorite bloggers on Instagram so I knew when she posted a picture of a Hawaiian tofu bowl I wanted to try it asap! She uses jalapeno in hers, but I thought it might be too spicy for my taste so I swapped it for red bell pepper. I used the oil free version and baked my tofu and bell pepper until crispy and then tossed it in the pineapple juice based sauce and served over brown jasmine rice. It was seriously DELISH! It was sweet and salty and had flavors that reminded me of getting take out, except it’s even better. I added some scallions and sesame seeds to my sauce and loved it!
