Ingredients:
- 1 - 20-ounce can pineapple chunks or tidbits
- 3 tablespoons - Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons - Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons - Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoons - Brown Sugar
- 1 - 14-ounce package water-packed extra-firm tofu drained, rinsed, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons - Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons - Canola Oil divided
- 2 tablespoons - Minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoons - Minced Ginger
- 1 - Large Red Bell Pepper cut into 1/2-by-2-inch strips

Directions:
1. Drain pineapple and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Whisk the reserved juice, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Place tofu in a large bowl; toss with 3 tablespoons of the sauce. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Add cornstarch to the remaining sauce and whisk until smooth.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skilled over medium-high heat. Transfer the tofu to the pan using a slotted spoon; whisk andy remaining marinade into the bowl of reserved sauce. Cook the tofu, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add red and green peppers and cook, stirring often, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the reserved sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Add the tofu and pineapple and cook, stirring gently until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
