Press your tofu for at least 10 minutes to drain out excess liquid.
Slice the scallions into 2” long pieces. Prepare the bell pepper, garlic, and chili (if using), as well.
Slice the tofu in ¾ to 1” thick pieces.
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl until the sugar and cornstarch has dissolved.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add in enough oil to cover the surface.
Add the tofu in the pan then pan-fry on each side until golden brown and crisp, around 6 to 7 minutes on each side.
Transfer the tofu to a plate and set aside.
Remove the oil from the pan and then heat over medium high heat again. Add in some sesame oil.
Sauté the scallions, garlic, dried chilli, and bell pepper until tender, around 3 minutes.
Pour in the water and sauce into the pan. Mix well and then add in the tofu into the sauce.
Leave the sauce to simmer over medium high heat, and once it boils, lower the heat to medium.
Leave the tofu to cook in the sauce for 4 to 5 minutes for the tofu to absorb the flavours.
Taste the tofu and feel free to season with more soy sauce, if needed.
Turn off the heat and then serve warm with some rice for a perfectly hearty and satisfying meal.
