If you have friends or family members who keep saying tofu does not taste good or that it is boring, serve them this yummy sweet and sour tofu bowl. Even my brother, who can be quite critical of tofu dishes, really dug in when I made this quick, fried meal. The thick, creamy soy and ketchup sauce gives it its final touch. Served in a big bowl with some rice, it will surely keep you satisfied for long. It's really easy to make and does not require a lot of time. Easy and fast—those are the kinds of recipes I love. I hope you will enjoy this as much as I do!
