01
Step 1
Start by combining the pineapple, broth, mango, habanero, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and turmeric in a small saucepan. Let it simmer over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes to let all those flavors meld together. Once it’s done, carefully pour the mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set the sauce aside for now.

Step 2
Next, toss the tofu in a big bowl with just enough cornstarch to lightly coat each piece. Heat up a wok or large skillet over high heat and add some vegetable oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the tofu and stir-fry it until it’s golden and crispy all over, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, remove the tofu and set it aside.

Step 3
In the same wok, throw in the celery, carrots, mangos, and green peppers. Stir-fry the veggies until they’re tender but still have a nice crunch and vibrant color, around 5 minutes. Add the tofu back into the pan along with the sauce you made earlier. Give everything a good toss to combine, taste, and season with salt if needed.

Step 4
Finish off by serving it all topped with fresh cilantro and scallions for a bright, fresh touch. Enjoy!

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep the tofu crispy. Avoid adding mango until serving if you plan to store it longer, as it can become mushy.
