This sticky tofu-stir-fry is sweet and sour, with a slight crunch and complemented perfectly with the background taste of orange.

What The Heck Is Pomegranate Molasses?

Pomegranate molasses is used to glaze meats normally. It’s quite sharp, so sweetness added to it is required to break through the acidity, hence the reason I have added a few tablespoons of maple syrup + orange juice.
I am a huge fan of pomegranate molasse, I treat it the same way with vegan products, as you would normally treat them with meat.

You can find it almost anywhere these days, but I like getting mine from amazon.
But if you can’t find pomegranate molasses anywhere, and don’t feel like ordering it, then you can use regular molasses, but I do really recommend that you use pomegranate molasses .

How To Make This Amazing Tofu Stir-Fry:

The method is simple, coat the tofu pieces in cornflour, this will make them crispy! Then pan-fry the tofu pieces until golden, then add your pomegranate glaze and the stir-fry vegetables. Stir-fry for a few minutes and you are done!
