1. Scatter the cornstarch onto a large plate or tray, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and a big pinch of black pepper and toss to combine. Add the tofu and toss until coated on all sides.

2. Prepare a tray or plate with paper towels.

3. Place a large skillet on medium high heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil, enough to cover the base of the pan and heat until the oil is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tofu and pan fry on each side until crispy about 1 - 2 minutes. Once all sides are golden, remove the tofu from the pan and transfer them to the prepared paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

4. In a medium bowl, add the soy sauce, ketchup (tomato sauce), rice vinegar, sriracha and sugar and stir to combine. Add the cornstarch and ¼ cup of water and whisk until the cornstarch is completely mixed in and it’s lump free.

5. Place the pan back onto medium high heat. Add 1- 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and add the ginger, garlic, and jalapeño and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6. Add the capsicum (bell pepper), broccoli and onion, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and stir fry just until the vegetables are crisp tender (or to your liking), about 4-6 minutes.

7. Add the sauce and toss briefly, about 20-30 seconds, until it has thickened up. Add the tofu and toss until it is coated in the sauce. Remove from heat immediately.

8. Top with scallions and eat with rice.
