Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 blocks extra firm tofu, sliced into cubes (around 240 g each)
½ cup bell-pepper, sliced into squares
1 heaping tbsp corn-starch
onion-leeks, chopped
2 tbsp sesame-oil, for frying
½ tsp salt

For the Sweet Chili Sauce
2 tsp chili-sauce (I used sriracha)
½ tbsp corn-starch
2 tbsp soy-sauce
2 tbsp coconut-sugar or other sugar
1½ tbsp maple-syrup or other liquid-sweetener
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp sesame-oil
Directions:
Directions:
Dry the tofu & cut into cubes. I wrap the tofu in towels & put a plate on top of it till excess-liquid is absorbed by the towels.
Sprinkle salt on the tofu-cubes. Add the cornstarch then coat the tofu well. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients to the sauce.
In a pan, heat round 1 ½ tablespoon of sesame-oil then fry the tofu cubes till golden and crisp. You might have to turn round the tofu-cubes.
Take out the tofu & sautee the onion-leeks and bell-peppers in a little sesame-oil.
Add from the tofu, sauce, then blend well. The sauce will thicken in the corn-starch. Serve with a bowl of rice and also enjoy while hot!
