- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp Gluten-free tamari
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch (for sauce, not marinade)
Tofu (you could substitute chicken)
- Extra-firm, water-packed tofu, drained, rinsed and cut into ½-inch cubes (I make the entire package, using half now and half for another meal)
Stir fry snow peas
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp minced fresh ginger
- 3-4 scallions, chopped
- 1 cup snow peas (I made 2 cups because the family ate them as well)
Roasted Brussel Spouts

Instructions
Marinade/sauce
- Make twice: First whisk together pineapple juice, vinegar, tamari, ketchup and sugar in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup until smooth. Set aside as tofu or chicken marinade.
- Second: whisk together pineapple juice, vinegar, tamari, ketchup and sugar in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup until smooth. Add cornstarch and whisk until combined. Heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium low heat, stirring constantly until thickens. Set aside.
Tofu
- Place tofu in a medium bowl. Toss with marinade. Let stand for 5- 20 minutes.
- Roast at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping once.
- Set aside.
- (If substituting chicken, marinate chicken, then stir fry separately)
Stir Fry Snow peas
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add scallions and cook another minute.
- Pour in the some sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds.
Brussel Sprouts
- Toss brussel sprouts in oil and spread evenly on a prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400 degrees, 25-30 minutes or until starting to get crispy around the edges.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
Assemble
- Place rice in center of plate or bowl. Place cooked tofu, snow peas and brussel sprouts around rice. Add fresh pineapple and pea sprouts. Drizzle with additional sauce as desired.
