Sweet and sour tofu

Overview

Guxi is a unique cooking method in Cantonese cuisine. The main ingredients are deep-fried and tomato sauce is used to create a sweet and sour taste. It is usually paired with the fruit pineapple. The sauce is rich in caramel and sweet and sour. During the perfect season when pineapples are in season, it would be unreasonable not to make a few sourdough dishes. I have cooked sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour pork ribs, and today I am going to make sweet and sour tofu - although it is a vegetarian dish, it tastes particularly delicious because of the sour taste, and it can compete with meat dishes!
