Sweet and Sour Tofu

I was craving for some Chinese the other day so I decided to make this awesome dish.

 I remember how good was my ( Sweet and Sour Chicken ) too especially the sauce

 So, I made it with a Tofu version. 

It turned out really good!

The only difference I did was I added Bread crumbs and it was such a good idea.

It made the tofu crunchy on the outside and tender in the inside.

I definitely recommend this recipe to all vegetarian's/vegan's out there!

Let me know what you guys think!
