Sweet & Sour Tofu & Vegan Prawns


Our last supper of 2009 consisted of sweet and sour tofu and vegan prawns. (The broccoli is from my winter garden...luckily it pulled through the cold snap we had a few weeks back.)

Now, vegan prawns are not something I buy often...but sometimes they're fun. I picked these up at Sidecar for Pig's Peace:

They're made of vegetable gum and root starch, with paprika for the color. They have a firm texture and taste mildly sweet...like, well, prawns. 


Sweet and Sour Sauce
2/3 cup pineapple juice (from a can of pineapple...I couldn't find a ripe fresh one)
1/4 cup agave
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
2 tablespoons corn starch

Mix all ingredients in a pan and heat over medium until thickened, stirring frequently. Pour the sauce over any stir fry mixture of your choice.

All in all, it was a tasty way to end the year.

Happy New Year All!
